palmitic acid and Gallstones

palmitic acid has been researched along with Gallstones in 4 studies

Palmitic Acid: A common saturated fatty acid found in fats and waxes including olive oil, palm oil, and body lipids.
hexadecanoic acid : A straight-chain, sixteen-carbon, saturated long-chain fatty acid.

Gallstones: Solid crystalline precipitates in the BILIARY TRACT, usually formed in the GALLBLADDER, resulting in the condition of CHOLELITHIASIS. Gallstones, derived from the BILE, consist mainly of calcium, cholesterol, or bilirubin.

"Bacteria cause pigment gallstones and can act as a nidus for cholesterol gallstone formation."1.33Biliary bacterial factors determine the path of gallstone formation. ( Grifiss, JM; Jarvis, GA; Stewart, L; Way, LW, 2006)
"We report a case of a brown pigment gallstone, which formed around a phytobezoar in the common bile duct, in a patient without spontaneous biliary enteric fistula or previous abdominal surgery."1.29Large foreign body as a nidus for a common duct stone in a patient without spontaneous biliary enteric fistula or previous abdominal surgery. ( Cetta, F; Lombardo, F; Rossi, S, 1993)
"In particular bacterial infection is important only in the pathogenesis of brown PSs while it plays no role in the initial formation of cholesterol, mixed or black GSs."1.28The role of bacteria in pigment gallstone disease. ( Cetta, F, 1991)
"We analyzed 56 sets of common bile duct gallstones collected over a 10-yr period using infrared and atomic absorption spectroscopy and chemical methods."1.27Quantitative infrared spectroscopy of common bile duct gallstones.
