Gallbladder bile contains nucleation-promoting activity that binds to concanavalin A. The activity was found in gallbladder bile from cholesterol gallstone patients but also in gallbladder bile from patients without stones and patients with pigment stones. Bile from patients with multiple cholestero

## 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
In this study, we first developed and validated a new in vitro isolated, intra-arterially perfused, gallbladder model and then applied the method to investigate the absorption of biliary lipids by the gallbladder wall and the effect of this process on the composition of human bile. Oxygenated and gl
