CHEN, W., NAKADAIRA, H., TSUNODA, M., MANO, H., TAKAGI, S., YAMAMOTO, M., KINEBUCHI, H., KATO, K. and AKAI, S. Selenium Contents in Human Gallbladder Bile. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1990, 161 (3), 257-259 -The selenium contents in human gallbladder bile were analyzed. Thirty-seven subjects were studied; 22 patients with cholelithiasis in Niigata Prefecture and 15 patients (13 with cholelithiasis and 2 with gallbladder polypus) in Kochi Prefecture. Five ml of bile was withdrawn with a syringe from the gallbladder during the operation and stored at -20°C until analysis. For the analysis by gas chromatograph with an electron-capture detector, 0.2ml of sample was used. The mean selenium contents in bile were 269±39.0 (mean±S.D.) ng/ml for the subjects in Niigata and 285±84.4ng/ml in Kochi; without significant difference. Of 37 samples analyzed, the mean content was 276±61.0ng/ml.
