Cholesterol determinations of gall bladder and hepatic bile obtained from the same source reveal a greater concentration in the former even after the inspissating effect of the gall bladder is allowed for. This evidence together with that from other experiments indicates that the gall bladder has the power to excrete cholesterol into its lumen. There is evidence also that infection may accelerate this excretion. An hypothesis is presented to explain the precipitation of cholesterol in the bile, and the bearing of these findings on the pathogenesis of cholesterol stones is briefly discussed.
从同一来源获得的胆囊和肝胆汁的胆固醇测定显示,即使考虑到胆囊的浓缩作用,前者的浓度也更高。这一证据与其他实验的证据一起表明,胆囊具有将胆固醇排入其管腔的能力。也有证据表明感染可能加速这种排泄。提出了一个假说来解释胆汁中胆固醇的沉淀,以及这些发现对胆固醇结石发病机制的影响。
