We have developed a simple method to quantitate cholesterol nucleation promoting activity in bile. The method makes use of the fact that gallbladder bile of cholesterol gallstone patients contains potent nucleation promoting activity. Gallbladder bile samples were serially diluted, routinely from 1/25 to 1/6400. The diluted samples were mixed with a supersaturated model bile and the nucleation time (NT) of the mixtures was determined. The greatest dilution that resulted in a significant shortening of the NT was called the nucleation promoting activity titre (NPAT). The determination is independent of the original lipid content of the bile sample. The NPAT was measured in 14 gallbladder bile samples derived from patients with cholesterol gallstones and 9 controls. In all samples promoting activity was found. In the samples from the stone patients the NPAT was significantly elevated as compared to the patients without cholesterol stones (p= 0.01). Our results suggest that the cholesterol saturation index and the activity of cholesterol nucleation promoting factors are the most important factors in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone disease. Assessment of the NPAT allows the differentiation of groups of patients with a normal cholesterol saturation index who are at risk for gallstone formation due to a high NPAT.
