Comparative study of changing patterns of concanavalin A-binding proteins in early stage of cholesterol gallstone formation

Table 1 Concentrations of proteins in human gallbladder bile (g/L, ^-x ± s)

Patient group	n	Total protein	CP concentration
Cholesterol gallstones	36	4.1 ± 1.5	0.39 ± 0.11
Pigment stones	7	3.2 ± 1.8	0.26 ± 0.12
Gallbladder cholesterosis	9	4.4 ± 1.6	0.40 ± 0.09
Gallbladder adenomyomatosis	2	3.8 ± 1.2	0.29 ± 0.19
Gallbladder adenoma	2	3.9 ± 1.1	0.26 ± 0.14
Non-biliary diseases	10	4.5 ± 1.6	0.27 ± 0.09

^aP < 0.05 vs other groups: ^bP < 0.01 vs pigment gallstones and non-biliary diseases. CP: Concanavalin A-binding protein
