Two distinct roles of bile are uncovered: supporting digestion and expelling cholesterine from the body.
This edition presents early medical findings that describe how the liver releases two different components into bile. One group helps nourish the body and is manufactured in the liver, while the other, cholesterine, acts as an excretion that must be removed from the system. The work discusses how cholesterine moves from blood to bile and how its levels relate to liver health and disease, including jaundice and cholesteremia.
- Learn how the liver separates a nutritive component from glyco- and tauro-cholates and how these substances are produced and discharged during digestion.
- Discover the concept that cholesterine is pre-existing in the blood, is not made by the liver, and is excreted through the bile.
- See how the body’s handling of cholesterine relates to different forms of jaundice, liver disease, and cases of blood poisoning.
- Get a historical perspective on measurements, observations, and the control experiments that informed early excretion theory.
Ideal for readers of medical history and early physiology who want a grounded view of how the liver’s excretory function was described and debated in its time.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book redefines our understanding of cholesterin, a non-essential substance previously thought to be mere waste. The author presents groundbreaking research to show that cholesterin is, in fact, a fundamental element in the body's waste-removal process. The author demonstrates that cholesterin is produced in the brain and nervous system and transported via the blood to the liver. There it is converted into a different substance and eliminated from the body as waste. This new understanding of cholesterin's role challenges long-held assumptions about its negative impact on health and opens new avenues for research into cholesterol-related diseases.
