 note = {Purpose. To evaluate gallbladder motility on ultrasonography after the ingestion of different forms and quantities of fat.
Methods. After a fast, 111 volunteers underwent ultrasonography to measure gallbladder volumes before, 30 min, and 60 min after ingesting Calorie Mate Liquid®, Calorie Mate Jelly®, Terumeal 2.0®, or Terumeal 2.0α®, which are used as nutritional supplements. The Calorie Mate products contain 4.4 g of fat, while the Terumeal products contain 15 g of fat. Most of the fat in these products is composed of long-chain fatty acids except for Terumeal 2.0α®, in which 15% of the fat is composed of medium-chain fatty acids. Gallbladder volume and the ejection fraction were measured using the ellipsoid method.
Results. There were significant differences in gallbladder volume before, 30 min, and 60 min after taking Calorie Mate Liquid® and Terumeal 2.0α®, and in gallbladder volume before and 30 min after taking Calorie Mate Jelly® and Terumeal 2.0®. There were significant differences in the 30-min ejection fraction between Calorie Mate Jelly® and Calorie Mate Liquid® and Terumeal 2.0α®, and in the 60-min ejection fraction between Calorie Mate Jelly® and Terumeal 2.0® and Terumeal 2.0α®. There were no other significant differences.
Conclusions. Calorie Mate Liquid®, which contains 4.4 g of fat, can be used as an appropriate gallbladder stimulant. Gallbladder contractions were weaker with jellies than with others; thus, jelly meals are not appropriate for evaluating gallbladder contraction. There was no difference in gallbladder contraction between the meal containing a medium-chain fatty acid component of 15% and the other meals.},
