What's the difference between cholesterin and gallstone?
Cholesterin
Definition:
(n.) A white, fatty, crystalline substance, tasteless and odorless, found in animal and plant products and tissue, and especially in nerve tissue, in the bile, and in gallstones.
Example Sentences:
(1) Administration of cholesterin to rabbits for 2 months results in its increased concentration in blood and in adrenal cortex.

(7) In 30-day-old mice certain structural changes have been revealed in the adrenals demonstrating an increasing activity in their cortex: blood vessels are dilated, cholesterine, lipid and ascorbic acid granules are not evenly distributed, enzymatic activity in cytoplasm of adrenocorticocytes is increased.

(11) Formation of the lesions in the internal lining of the arteries is preceded by certain disorders in permeability of the endothelial barrier at increasing concentration of cholesterin in blood plasma, accompanying with a sharp activation of the cell proliferative activity.
(12) In contrast the incidence of a well differentiated adenocarcinoma was more frequent in the cases with a stone (more often a cholesterin stone than a bilirubin stone) than in cases without a stone.

(14) With experimental muscular dystrophy the content of cholesterin is 2.7 as high as its content in the sarcolemma of the normal rabbits.
(15) Delipidation of the skeletal muscles nuclei, which results in their loss of some phospholipids and cholesterin, is accompanied by the ATPase activity decrease.
(16) Among the paramters that are characteristic of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the total content of lipids and cholesterin decreased, and so did the concentration of blood sugar, lactic acid and pyruvic acid in the blood plasma.
(17) Stated are the results for the normal values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, ESR, total erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, leukocyte formula, blood sugar, cholesterin, urea, total protein and protein fractions, some micro- and macroelements, and enzymes as tabulated in four diagrams.
(18) Total lipids, total cholesterin and triglycerides in serum were determined at the laboratory.
(19) The yield of biomass and the rate of cholesterine decomposition depended on the source of nitrogen and its concentration in the medium.
(20) Serum triglyceride and HDL-cholesterin levels were however uninfluenced.
Gallstone
Definition:
(n.) A concretion, or calculus, formed in the gall bladder or biliary passages. See Calculus, n., 1.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the present study we examined cholecystokinin release and gallbladder contraction after oral administration of a commercial fatty meal (Sorbitract; Dagra, Diemen, The Netherlands) using ultrasonography in eight normal subjects and eight gallstone patients before and after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (10 mg kg-1.day-1).
(2) Best results were achieved in patients with single gallstones.
(3) Cholecystectomy is advocated in symptomatic patients with this condition, even when gallstones are not present.
(4) In addition the development of any gallstones was determined by serial ultrasonography.
(5) In a few patients, evidence of obstructive gallstone disease will develop during bile acid therapy and surgery will be required.
(6) Two of the patients had inflammatory bowel disease, none had a history of alcoholism and only one had gallstones.
(7) All the cholecystectomies were performed for gallstones.
(8) The serum cholesterol did not show any consistent change in the normal subjects, but there was a fall in cholesterol at 20 weeks in patients with gallstones; patients with previous myocardial infarction had a rise in cholesterol which returned to normal at 20 weeks.
(9) The patients with gallstone pancreatitis experienced a relief of symptoms and a decrease in the levels of serum amylase and bilirubin prior to rectal passage of the stones.
(10) Of 39 patients with gallstones, 30 were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound.
(11) The development of gallstones following this procedure, however, has become more problematic in that further opeation becomes a real necessity.
(12) Hepatic bile from gallstone patients contained significantly more cholesterol than did gallbladder bile from the same patients.
(13) Twelve patients with biliary colic had no evidence of gallstones but underwent cholecystokinin-augmented hepatobiliary scintigraphy that revealed gallbladder ejection fractions of less than 35%.
(14) The usefulness of micronutrient antioxidant therapy for recurrent (non-gallstone) pancreatitis has recently been endorsed by a 20-week double-blind double-dummy cross-over trial in 20 patients.
