Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Patients with uncomplicated gallstones and a serum level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol >130 mg/dl were randomly assigned to open-label treatment with bezafibrate, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, or placebo for 8 weeks before elective cholecystectomy."5.11Fibrates modify the expression of key factors involved in bile-acid synthesis and biliary-lipid secretion in gallstone patients.
