Biliverdin pigments in green biles

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1965
Abstract 1. 1. The nature of the green bile pigments in various animal species has been studied using reversed-phase partition chromatography and paper chromatography. 2. 2. The chromatographic behaviour of the pigments has been compared with that of synthetic biliverdin derivatives. 3. 3.

Bile Pigment Formation in Plants

Science, 1970
The unicellular alga Cyanidium caldarium evolves carbon monoxide during the synthesis of the bile pigment, phycocyanobilin. Carbon monoxide and phycocyanobilin were produced in stoichiometric amounts at comparable rates. Therefore, the mechanism of bile pigment formation in this plant parallels that in mammals.

Bile Pigment Excretion in Amphibia

Nature, 1961
IN man and in other mammals, bilirubin is excreted in conjugated form, mainly as the glucuronide. Since in mammalian fœtal liver the enzymatic mechanism for glucuronide formation is poorly developed, reaching its full capacity only after birth, transient hyperbilirubinaemia is frequently observed during the neonatal period1.

Bile Pigments in Fishes: A Review

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 1991
SummaryGallbladder (GB) bile of most cyclostomes, elasmobranchs, and teleosts contains appreciable amounts of biliverdin (BV) and bilirubin (BR) conjugates with lesser amounts of unconjugated BR in certain species. Certain elasmobranch and teleost species have been reported to have primarily BV or BR in bile.

Antioxidant Activities of Bile Pigments

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2004
Biliverdin and bilirubin are reducing species and hence potential antioxidants formed by the action of heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase. Indeed, there is increasing evidence for the suggestion that a beneficial role of the potentially toxic bilirubin may be to act as a powerful chain-breaking antioxidant in biological systems, and that bilirubin

Bile pigment-phospholipid interactions

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1971
Abstract The binding of conjugated and free bilirubin with various phospholipids to form aggregates, which were not extracted by alkali, was examined under various conditions and in different solvents. Maximum binding was attained with lecithins, unsaturated cephalin, and sphingomyelin while lysolecithin and cardiolipin formed negligible amounts of ...

Outstanding bile pigment problems.

Acta medicinae Okayama, 1969
In this review of the chemistry, biochemistry and chemical pathology of the bile pigments I am well aware that I shall ask many more questions than I am able to answer. It seems appropriate that the subject should be considered under the five headings: -Chemistry; Formation from Haem Proteins; Transport in the Blood; Conjugation and Transport to the ...

The transport of bile pigments II. The ether-soluble plasma bile pigment

Clinical Biochemistry, 1967
Summary o 1. Ether extracts of blood sera from patients with obstructive, hepatocellular,and hemolytic jaundice were examined: When a serum was hyperliproproteinemic, its ether extract contained lipid, protein, and “directly-reacting” bile pigment. 2.
