Evaluation of Body Surface Area as a Determinant of Cholecystodynamics Due to Orally Administered Standardized Skimmed Milk

Abstract: The author studied the relationship between body surface area and both the gallbladder contraction index and gallbladder emptying rate. Using the ellipsoid formula, gallbladder volumes were sonographically measured in the preprandial state and 20 minutes after a standardized fatty meal in 62 subjects. Gallbladder contraction indices and emptying rates were calculated. The body surface area of 61 subjects who followed the study design was computed from their height and weight measurements. Parametric tests also… Show more

“…Established protocols were used to measure meal stimulated gallbladder emptying (Hussaini et al, 1996). The maximum length, width and height of the gallbladder were obtained in supine position as previously documented (Ugwu, 2006(Ugwu, , 2008; Ugwu and Erondu, 2009). The gallbladder volume and emptying were assessed by the ellipsoid method (Dodds et al, 1986).…”
