[Lipid content of the bile in diseases of the biliary tract in male and female Evenkis].

A total of 156 Evens and 162 Evenks were examined in the reindeer-breeding regions of Evenkia and Yakutia in the Extreme North of the country. The Evens suffering from cholecystitis presented with higher saturation of the B and C duodenal bile with cholesterol than patients with dyskinesias. Such regularities were not observed in the Evenks. These findings permit a conclusion that the ethnic and geographic factors influence the lipid composition of the bile in indigenous population of the Extreme North in case of diseases of the biliferous ducts.
