Abstract
These data suggest that leptinâresistant Rotund mice have (1) enlarged gallbladders with (2) diminished contractility compared to lean control mice. Therefore, this study confirms that leptinâresistance is associated with abnormal biliary motility and may lead to gallstone formation in leptinâresistant obesity.
