Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of gallstone formation in women : effects of exogenous estrogen (premarin) and dietary cholesterol on hepatic lipid metabolism
TL;DR: Premarin increases biliary cholesterol by enhancing hepatic lipoprotein uptake and inhibiting bile acid synthesis and these actions of Premarin divert dietary cholesterol into bile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gallbladder function in the human female: Effect of the ovulatory cycle, pregnancy, and contraceptive steroids
TL;DR: Fasting, residual, and average hourly volume were increased in all trimesters of pregnancy, but tended to return to normal in the postpartum period, and two distinct rates of emptying after breakfast, an early and a late one, were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biliary lipids, bile acids, and gallbladder function in the human female. Effects of pregnancy and the ovulatory cycle.
Fred Kern,Gregory T. Everson,B DeMark,Carol McKinley,Radene Showalter,W. Erfling,Dan Z. Braverman,P Szczepanik-van Leeuwen,P. D. Klein +8 more
TL;DR: The phase of the ovulatory cycle had no effects, but there were significant changes during pregnancy, and the volume of the fasting gallbladder and the residual volume after a physiologically stimulated contraction were directly correlated with bile acid pool size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations of hepatic Na+,K+-ATPase and bile flow by estrogen: Effects on liver surface membrane lipid structure and function
Roger A. Davis,Fred Kern,Radene Showalter,Eileen Sutherland,Michael Sinensky,Francis R. Simon +5 more
TL;DR: Administration of Triton WR-1339, a nonionic detergent that corrects hepatic and serum lipid changes caused by ethinyl estradiol treatment, restored toward normal elevated membrane lipids and viscosity as well as Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and bile flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bile salt malabsorption in regional ileitis, ileal resection, and mannitol-induced diarrhea
Walter E. Meihoff,Fred Kern +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ILEal resection and ileal disease are major factors and rapid intestinal transit is a minor factor in causing excessive fecal bile salt loss.
