Using radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunohistochemical LASB technique, the level of serum estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), progesterone (P), estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in 30 male patients with gallstones were detected. The results showed that the level of serum P, E2/T and PR was higher. This suggests that the metabolic disorder of gonadal hormones play an important role in gallstone formation.
