It is suggested, that the lack of use of cholesterol for steroidogenesis leads to its precipitation in the composition of gallstones, increased cortisol is a limiting factor in inflammatory processes in the gall bladder. The increasing of testosterone synthesis may be considered as an antagonistic component of glucocorticoid regulation of lipid and protein metabolism
