Recent studies indicate that gallbladder absorption increases during the early stages of
experimentally induced cholesterol gallstone formation. The purpose of the present study …

Cholesterol saturated bile and gallbladder stasis are important factors in the pathogenesis of
cholesterol gallstones. The degree to which either or both of these factors affect gallbladder …

Whether gallbladder absorptive function is altered during formation of cholesterol gallstones
is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that alterations in biliary lipid composition present …

Several human and experimental observations suggest that gallbladder stasis is an
important link between the hepatic secretion of cholesterol saturated bile and the formation …

Gallbladder absorption increases during early cholesterol gallstone formation and is
influenced by the intraluminal presence of lithogenic bile. The effect of lithogenic bile on …

The hypothesis that the presence of cholelithogenic bile during the early stages of
cholesterol gallstone formation promotes gallbladder absorption of water and electrolytes …

Feeding corn and alfalfa to young prairie dogs resulted in formation of gallstones composed
of 45 percent cholesterol, 30 percent bile pigments, and 25 percent calcium bilirubinate in …

Recent studies indicate that biliary lipids influence in vivo gallbladder absorption and solute-
coupled water flow. To clarify the electrophysiologic effects that underlie this phenomenon …

Recent studies suggest that altered gallbadder absorptive function may be an important and
previously unrecognized factor in the pathogenesis of experimentally induced gallstones …

Recent observations indicate that the hepatic secretion of lithogenic bile, gallbladder mucus
hypersecretion, and gallbladder stasis are all critical factors in the pathogenesis of …
