Gallbladder emptying stimuli in obese and normal-weight subjects

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

“…Both formulas produced equivalent loss of 22% described and validated. 14,19 Volunteers were then randomized to one body mass, in spite of differences in caloric content. Incentive of the liquid formulas, and gallbladder emptying response to their and supervision resulted in compliance judged to be very good assigned liquid meal (õ1-g fat meal or 10-g fat meal) was measured by a second prediet test.…”

“…Fatty acid composition of jects. 14,16,17,28 After weight loss (week 24), fasting gallbladder bile and serum phospholipids was measured as previously de- viously observed changes in bile cholesterol saturation index and As expected (Fig. 2), the 10-g fat meal stimulated normal gallbladder emptying, we calculated that 10 subjects in each group gallbladder emptying, whereas the õ1 g fat meal produced would be sufficient to detect a 22% difference in gallbladder emptying very poor emptying pretreatment and throughout the weight and a 30% change in saturation index between the two diet treat-loss.…”
