Epidemiologic studies suggest that consumption of diets rich in carbohydrates may, in part, be responsible for the increasing incidence of pigment gallstone disease. The mechanism by which these dietary components lead to pigment stone formation remains obscure. Furthermore, investigative efforts in
It has been suggested that consumption of refined carbohydrate foods (notably sugar and white flour) increases bile cholesterol saturation and hence the risk of cholesterol gall stone formation. To test this hypothesis, 13 subjects with probable cholesterol gall stones ate refined and unrefined
This study was designed to investigate the effect of cholestyramine on the formation of pigment gallstones in high carbohydrate diet-fed hamsters and whether that effect occurred because of cholecystokinin action. Forty seven hamsters were divided into three groups: group I(n = 16) was fed on normal
BACKGROUND
Diets with a high glycaemic response exacerbate the metabolic consequences of the insulin resistance syndrome. Their effects on the incidence of gall stone disease are not clear, particularly in men.
METHODS
Dietary information was collected as part of the Health Professionals Follow up
Larrea tridentata (Sesse and Moc. ex DC.) Coville is used for the treatment of gallstones in traditional Mexican medicine. The possible prevention or elimination of gallstones by ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and twigs of L. tridentata was tested in hamsters fed a rich carbohydrate,
Dogs fed a marginal protein, high carbohydrate diet containing borderline amounts of methionine consistently develop pigment gallstones, marked taurine deficiency, and abnormal secretion of unconjugated bile salts. Since taurine is essential for normal secretion of bile salts in the dog, a species
Cholesterol gallstone disease is a common condition in western populations. The etiology is multifactorial with interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Obesity, aging, estrogen treatment, pregnancy and diabetes are consistently associated to a higher risk. A number of dietary factors have
To study the role played by hepatic bile mucus glycoprotein in the development of hepatolithiasis, mucus glycoprotein, isolated from the bile of patients with intrahepatic gallstones by gel filtration and ultracentrifugation, was examined for precipitability in control hepatic bile obtained
Chileans and North American Indians have one of the highest prevalence rates of cholesterol gallstones in the world. The most common theory to explain this has been the operation of some as yet undefined genetic risk factor in these populations. Searching for some common environmental factor for
Gallstone disease represents one of the most common and costly gastroenterological disorders. In Germany, 0.25% of the population undergo cholecystectomy per year, and cholelithiasis incurs annual medical expenses of more than USD 6.5 billion in the United States. The paradigm of environmental risk
