Abstract:Gallbladder stasis may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of cholesterol-gallstone formation in some individuals. We investigated gallbladder function in a group of nondieting, gallstone-free, healthy subjects with normal (22 +/- 1 kg/m2) and high (36 +/- 1 kg/m2) body mass indexes. Fasting gallbladder volume (28.2 +/- 4.4 ml) and residual volume after maximal emptying (8.4 +/- 2.3 ml) in high-body-mass index subjects were not significantly different from those of normal-body-mass index subjects (20.5 … Show more

nized factors in cholesterol gallstone formation; bile which is Obese persons are at risk for cholesterol gallstones saturated with cholesterol is essential for crystals to form, because their bile is saturated with cholesterol. The risk nucleation factors can influence whether crystals form in satincreases during rapid weight loss by means of certain urated bile, and gallbladder stasis can allow crystal growth. very-low-calorie diets or gastric bypass surgery. GallObesity is associated with increased bile cholesterol secrestone risk factors during rapid weight loss include intion and saturation index. 6 Several studies suggest that bile creased bile cholesterol saturation index and gallbladsaturation index increases further during rapid weight der stasis.

The formation of gallstones (cholelithiasis) has been identified as one of the risks associated with obesity. In this chapter, we:∑ briefly describe the conditions and manner of gallstone formation, ∑ review the prevalence, incidence, or relative risk in various population samples, ∑ review some personal and dietary factors, known or suspected to affect gallstone formation and especially relevant to obesity, ∑ review some methods for prevention and treatment.
Our results show that fasting and postprandial gallbladder volumes are higher and that postprandial gallbladder motility is lower in obese than in nonobese women. There are positive correlations between fasting gallbladder volume and body weight, body mass index, and body fat weight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
