We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that short-term fasting would increase gallbladder bile calcium and bilirubin levels.

Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that both obesity and dietary carbohydrates would increase gallbladder fat and cytokines, steatocholecystitis.

Introduction: Insulin resistance is associated with increased gallbladder volume and impaired gallbladder emptying.

We conclude that increased gallbladder fat may lead to poor gallbladder emptying and biliary symptoms.

The results demonstrate that increased gallbladder bile cholesterol saturation and total protein concentration precede cholesterol monohydrate crystal precipitation.

We have recently reported that congenitally obese mice and lean mice fed a high fat diet have increased gallbladder wall lipids and poor gallbladder emptying.

Introduction: We have recently demonstrated that obese and lean mice fed a high fat diet have increased gallbladder wall fat and decreased gallbladder contractility, cholecystosteatosis.
