Duodenal bile obtained from patients with gallstones who were acutely infused with chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, or cholic acid were examined for the propensity toward the formation of a liquid crystalline mesomorphic phase when cholesterol gallstones were incubated in these bile acid

We have studied the coupling between hepatic uptake of chylomicron remnant cholesteryl ester and biliary excretion of cholesterol and bile acids in rats, after feeding them a cholesterol-free (control) or a high-cholesterol diet ( 1% wt/wt) for 2 wk. We equipped rats with permanent catheters in the
## I We investigated whether bile concentration influenced cholesterol saturation index or nucleation time of cholesterol monohydrate crystals in a large number of gallbladder bile samples. Pigment stone patients never had cholesterol crystals in their fresh biles, and nucleation time was always l
Patients with multiple cholesterol gallstones are at increased risk of recurrence after nonsurgical therapy, possibly because of fast biliary cholesterol crystallization. Serum apolipoprotein E4 (apo E4) is a risk factor for primary cholesterol gallstone formation as well as recurrence. We examined
