Regular
exercise may reduce the chances of gallstone formation – a solid
crystal deposit that forms in the gallbladder, American scientists
suggest.
A study by scientists at the University of Illinois
found that exercise-trained mice got far fewer gallstones than
sedentary mice. The study also identified potential mechanisms to
explain why this occurs.
Previous
studies have suggested that people who are physically fit have fewer
gallstones and lower cholesterol, but laboratory studies had not
confirmed the link.
The researchers claimed their study is a
useful model because the genes that regulate the liver and gall bladder
are similar in humans and mice, reported science portal EurekAlert.
They said human studies would be difficult to perform because of the number of
years it takes for people to develop gallstones.
People
suffering from gallstones often may not have any symptoms and require
no treatment. But some with the disease have symptoms such as nausea
and an intense, steady ache in their upper middle or upper right
abdomen. In some cases the pain can be severe and intermittent.
Complications from gallstones can be serious, and even fatal, if left
untreated.
