Distribution of cholesterol between vesicles and micelles in human gallbladder bile: Influence of treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid
Staffan Sahlin, Per Thyberg, Jon Ahlberg, Bo Angelin, Kurt Einarsson – 1 January 1991 – The present study aimed at determining the relative distribution of cholesterol between the vesicular and micellar phases in gallbladder bile of gallstone patients (n = 23) and gallstone‐free subjects (n = 7). Nine of the gallstone patients were treated with chenodeoxycholic acid and seven were treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, 15 mg/kg/day, for 3 wk before cholecystectomy.
