Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by a permanent intolerance to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Cholecystokinin (CCK) release from the proximal small intestine and gallbladder emptying in response to a fatty meal are greatly reduced in celiac patients before they start the gluten-free diet, showing a genetic predisposition to gallstones.

Abstract
Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by a permanent intolerance to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Cholecystokinin (CCK) release from the proximal small intestine and gallbladder emptying in response to a fatty meal are greatly reduced in celiac patients before they start the gluten-free diet, showing a genetic predisposition to gallstones.File in questo prodotto:
