Female Hartley guinea pigs fed a 0.5% cholesterol-supplemented diet were found to form pigmented gallstones after 6 weeks (17/23) and 12 weeks (1 1/1 l), while only 2 of 44 animals fed a trace cholesterol diet formed gallstones over a comparable period. The light brown stones consisted primarily of
Calcium bilirubinate, palmitate, carbonate and phosphate have been identified in the cores of cholesterol and pigment gallstones, suggesting a role for precipitated calcium salts in the early events of gallstone formation. Previous studies that compared the calcium salt contents of cholesterol and p
We have previously isolated from 13 cholesterol gallstones a low molecular weight acidic bili-protein that inhibited the precipitation of calcium carbonate in uitro. We now report the isolation of a similar protein from seven black pigment gallstones. Cholesterol was removed from the stones by Soxhl
