Article Synopsis
- Mucin is a glycoprotein that protects the gallbladder but also contributes to gallstone formation; this study explores the connection between mucin expression, gallbladder inflammation, and stone characteristics.
- Researchers analyzed bile and tissue samples from 21 gallstone patients, assessing mucin content and inflammation levels using various laboratory techniques.
- Results showed that certain mucin types (MUC5AC and MUC5B) were prevalent in bile, with higher gallbladder inflammation linked to pigmented brown stones and increased MUC5AC expression.
