Gallbladder emptying rate and bile composition were evaluated before and after administration of prednisolone for 2 weeks as well as 1 week after cessation of prednisolone administration.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> Gallbladder emptying rate decreased significantly after prednisolone administration (median, 27%; range, 0% to 38%), compared with rate before administration (median, 59%; range, 29% to 68%), but then increased 1 week after cessation of administration (median, 45%; range, 23% to 48%). Gallbladder bile mucin concentration decreased significantly after prednisolone administration (median, 8.8 mg\/dL; range, 6.2 to 11.3 mg\/dL), compared with concentration before administration (median, 13.1 mg\/dL; range, 10.7 to 21.7 mg\/dL), but then increased 1 week after cessation of administration (median, 14.3 mg\/dL; range, 9.6 to 26.7 mg\/dL). Gallbladder taurochenodeoxycholic acid concentration decreased significantly after prednisolone administration (8.1 mmol\/L; range, 6.8 to 15.2 mmol\/L), compared with concentration before administration (median, 27.2 mmol\/L; range, 22.0 to 31.9 mmol\/L), but then increased 1 week after cessation of administration (median, 26.4 mmol\/L; range, 15.1 to 31.5 mmol\/L).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> A lower gallbladder emptying rate caused by prednisolone administration may be involved in the pathogenesis of gallbladder disease in dogs.
