ПРО ХОЛЕСТЕРИН У ЖОВЧНИХ КАМЕНЯХ

Cholesterol, which forms gall concrements in the human body, crystallizes in the form
of monohydrate. The orientation of monohydrate crystals determines the motive of stone
structure. In the case of spherulitic structure with radial direction coincides axis [100] of
cholesterol, but at the oölitic motive the crystallographic direction [001] of monohydrate
is perpendicular to the stone surface. At keeping concrements in the open air at room
temperature monohydrate transforms into unhydrous cholesterol within some time, and
what’s more, it transforms quicker in the spherulitic structure than in the oölitic.
