1.   The total protein concentration did not differ between the two groups as shown by Yamazaki etal.

2.   The total protein content of the tube was evaluated by the Bradford protein method.

3.   Furthermore, a high biliary concentration of total protein is reported to reduce bile metastability.

4.   Total protein concentration was measured by the fluorometric technique described by Yamazaki et al.

5.   The Table shows the differences in biliary lipid composition and total protein concentration between the cholesterol gall stone patients and the gall stone free patients.

6.   No significant difference in total protein concentration was seen in gall bladder bile between the cholesterol gall stone patients and the gall stone free patients.

7.   No correlation was found between the nucleation time and CSI, total protein concentration or the distribution of vesicular cholesterol in hepatic bile.

8.   The nucleation time did not correlate with either total lipid concentration or total protein concentration.
