“…4,18,45 Furthermore, the 19H allele has also been associated with higher serum levels of cholesterol precursors (cholestanol, lathosterol), 23 indicating increased cholesterol biosynthesis, as has been observed in obese gallstone patients. 46,47 These findings taken together suggest low intestinal cholesterol absorption and high compensatory cholesterol biosynthesis in carriers of the ABCG8 D19H variant, as hypothesized previously by Gylling et al 23 Of note, the up-regulated cholesterol biosynthesis in these subjects explains the greater efficacy of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors such as atorvastatin therapy in 19H carriers. 28 In fact, statins are reported to decrease the cholesterol saturation index of duodenal bile and to dissolve gallstones in some patients 48 but not in gallstone patients in general.…”

“…We found significantly higher serum BA levels in patients with cholecystectomy compared to patients with the gall bladder in situ 5 years after surgery. This may, completely or partly, be attributable to increased cycling of the BA pool in the enterohepatic circulation due to lack of storage capacity [39,40].…”
