[Serum fatty acid and lipid spectrum in patients with cholelithiasis]
Abstract:
Caucasoids and mongoloids from different regions of Siberia were examined for the prevalence of cholelithiasis, serum lipid and fatty acid profiles. In Caucasoids, unlike Mongoloids, cholelithiasis was associated with increased serum cholesterol. This finding suggests that relative stability of lipid metabolism in Mongoloids protects them from biliary pathology. It was shown for the first time that elevated levels of saturated fatty acids and depletion of unsaturated fatty acids in the sera are a universal feature of disturbed lipid metabolism in patients with cholelithiasis in genetically different populations.
