The gallbladder is a small organ under the liver with a function of aiding the digestive system in fat metabolism and storing of the bile produced by the liver.
The gallbladder also plays a critical role to maintain the body normal function by providing nutrients and fluids to the body and remove waste through the secretary system.
Gallbladder disease is a condition of inflammation or gallstones of the gallbladder.
A gallstone is a stone formed within the gallbladder out of bile components as a result of building up undissolved cholesterol over a prolonged period of time.
A gallstone is a stone formed within the gallbladder out of bile components as a result of building up undissolved cholesterol over a prolonged period of time.
Gallstones can cause blockage of the flow of bile through the bile ducts, leading to inflammatory causes of acute cholecystitis. Gallstones are most common among older adults, women, overweight people, etc.
According to the statistic, approximate 20 millions of the US population have some kinds of Gallbladder Disease.
The most common symptoms are
* Upper gastrointestinal bleeding if ruptured
* Right upper quadrant or midline epigastric pain
* Abdominal pain
Gallstones are relatively rare in children. Some gallstones are radiopaque and can be visualized on plain abdominal radiography.
* Other symptoms may include mid-upper abdominal pain, biliary pain, and colic.
According to the analysis of plasma levels of α- and γ-tocopherol using high-performance liquid chromatography in a community-based sample (582 individuals; median age 62 years; 38.5% women),
* Lower probabilities of having gallstone disease were observed in the top (compared to the bottom) tertile of the plasma α-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio (OR (Odds Ratio): 0.31; 95% CI (Confidence Interval): 0.13-0.76).
* γ-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio showed a lower probability of having gallstone disease. However, though the association did not reach statistical significance (OR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.35-1.69 for 3rd vs 1st tertile).
* Right upper quadrant or midline epigastric pain
* Abdominal pain
Gallstones are relatively rare in children. Some gallstones are radiopaque and can be visualized on plain abdominal radiography.
* Other symptoms may include mid-upper abdominal pain, biliary pain, and colic.
Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of digestive diseases, researchers examined the effect of tocopherols on gallstone diseases.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of digestive diseases, researchers examined the effect of tocopherols on gallstone diseases.
In other words, levels of α-tocopherol associated with levels of cholesterol showed a significant lowering the risk of gallstone diseases, compared to the ratio of γ-tocopherol/cholesterol
After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "our observations are consistent with the concept that higher vitamin E levels might protect from gallstone disease, a premise that needs to be further addressed in longitudinal studies.".
Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered adjunct therapies in the treatment of gallstone diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
