100,101 The degree of impairment of gallbladder emptying has been found to increase in proportion to the cholesterol content of gallbladder bile, even in healthy subjects without gallstones. These findings suggest that excess cholesterol molecules in the gallbladder wall may act as myotoxic agents....
Obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are known risk factors for the development of gallstones. A growing body of animal and human data has correlated insulin resistance with organ dysfunction. The relationship among obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and abnormal gallbladder motility remains unclear. Th...
