Abstract:
The survey of sources presented discusses the results of the research on lipid metabolism in cases of such a common disease as acute and chronic cholecystitis. The application of modern analytical methods for studying individual lipids of different classes enabled to acquire a better comprehension of metabolism of these major cell membrane components and the main gall-bladder compounds--biliary acids. The role of biliary alcohols in the inflammation process development is studied alongside with that of the known lipid fractions.
