Bezafibrate is a hypolipidemic fibric acid derivative known to induce cholesterol supersaturation of bile. To characterize its effects on hepatic cholesterol metabolism, 31 normolipidemic, normal-weight patients with gallstones undergoing cholecystectomy were studied, Eleven patients (5 men) were ra

Hepatic cholesterol metabolism was examined in 27 Swedish patients with cholesterol gallstone disease and in 13 patients free of gallstones operated for roentgenographically suspect polyps in the gall-

Patients with multiple cholesterol gallbladder stones have been found to be at a higher risk for the recurrence of gallstones after successful nonsurgical treatment than those with a solitary stone. Cholesterol gallstone recurrence, like primary gallstone formation, probably involves a triple defect

The objective of this study was to investigate cholesterol metabolism in human gallbladder mucosa, especially in relation to hepatic cholesterol metabolism, gallstone disease and treatment with bile acids. Gallbladder mucosa and liver tissue samples were collected in 44 patients undergoing cholecyst
The objective of this study was to investigate possible pathogenetic factors for cholesterolosis. Liver tissue, gallbladder mucosa, and gallbladder bile were collected in patients with cholesterol gallstones (GS) (14 patients with and 14 patients without cholesterolosis) and gallstone-free (GSF) sub
Many studies have demonstrated that gallbladder bile (but not hepatic bile) of animals or patients with cholesterol gallstones contains higher protein concentrations than does gallbladder bile of control patients without stones or with pigment stones. The underlying defect has not been elucidated. T
