Apolipoprotein A-1 is known to be one of inhibiting factors of cholesterol nucleation in bile, and decreased activity of apolipoprotein A-1 is considered to predispose cholesterol-supersaturated bile to formation of cholesterol crystals. To study the pathogenesis of the intrahepatic formation of cholesterol stones, we examined surgically resected liver specimens from six
