Influence of the gallbladder on serum bile acids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serum bile acids (SBA) were studied after a standard fatty meal in patients with gallbladder disease. Early postprandial bile acid values were found to be greater in patients with non-functioning gallbladders. Higher postprandial SBA values were found after cholecystectomy. Serum bile acid measurements were of no value in the assessment of gallbladder function.

Biliary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Telocytes in Gallstone Disease.
It has been reported that intake of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. It also influences bile composition, decreasing biliary cholesterol saturation in the bile of patients with gallstones. In addition to bile composition disturbances, gallbladder hypomotility must be a cofactor in the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis, as it leads to the prolonged...
متن کاملDiffusion Potentials and Potassium Distribution across the Gallbladder Wall.
During the process of concentration of bile by the gallbladder, water and electrolytes are absorbed, leaving behind bile acids, bilirubin pigment, and other substances to which the gallbladder epithelium is not permeable. It has recently been postulated (1) that this resorptive process depends upon a "neutral" ion pump in the gallbladder epithelium that transports sodium, anions, and water out ...
متن کاملRelative measurement of heavy elements in the bile, gallbladder and gallstone
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: PIXE (Particle Induced X-Ray Emission) is a suitable method for the analysis of biological samples in which heavy trace elements are contained in light matrix elements. It is very important to know which factors or probably elements act as initial seed and lead to growing the sands. The goal of this study was to compare the relative values of Fe/K, Cu/K and Zn/K for gallst...
متن کاملQualitative metabolomics profiling of serum and bile from dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation
Mucocele formation is characterized by secretion of abnormally thick mucus by the gallbladder epithelium of dogs that may cause obstruction of the bile duct or rupture of the gallbladder. The disease is increasingly recognized and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. The cause of gallbladder mucocele formation in dogs is unknown. There is a strong breed predisposition and affected...

Background: It has been reported that several species of Helicobacter colonize the biliary tract of animals and human, but their participation in hepatobiliary diseases are not established. This study is undertaken to determine if Helicobacter genus members, especially with regard to H. pylori, could be detected in the bile and gallbladder diseases. Methods: Thirty-eight gallbladder tissues and...
