Does cisapride improve gallbladder contractility and bile lipid composition in an animal model of gallstone disease?
Thus, lithogenic bile develops in this model because of reduced bile salt secretion and increased cholesterol secretion. Cisapride renders biliary lipid composition towards normal by enhancing gallbladder (and possibly intestinal) motility and cycling of the bile salt pool, thereby increasing bile salt secretion.
These data indicate that the homing of MMNCs is related to the extent of the myocardial injury, suggesting that cellular therapy for regeneration of damaged myocardium should be individualized by taking into consideration the extension of the area to repair.
