Intraluminal Pressure and Electrical Excitability of the Human Gallbladder

Herbert F. Newman 1 and Jane D. Northup 1

1 From the Laboratories of the Beth Israel Hospital, New York City

The intraluminal pressure of the human gallbladder in 19 fasting cases and in 6 patients who had had a fat meal was determined. The organ was electrically excitable in 3 who received a fat meal and in 2 others but all 5 showed an elevated basal pressure. It is postulated that the electrical excitability of the human gallbladder may be modified by its humeral status.
