Molecules, 2021 Recent work has shown that bilirubin has a hormonal function by binding to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα), a nuclear receptor that drives the transcription of genes to control adiposity.

Bilirubin as a Metabolic Hormone: The Physiological Relevance of Low Levels.
American Journal of Physiology. Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Recent research on bilirubin, a historically well-known waste product of heme catabolism, suggests an entirely new function as a metabolic hormone that drives gene transcription by nuclear receptors.

Bilirubin oxidase from myrothecium verrucaria physically absorbed on graphite electrodes. Insights into the alternative resting from and the sources of activity loss [PDF]
, 2015 The oxygen reduction reaction is one of the most important chemical processes in energy converting systems and living organisms. Mediator-less, direct electro-catalytic reduction of oxygen to water was achieved on spectrographite electrodes modified by

Ursodeoxycholic acid improves bilirubin but not albumin in primary biliary cirrhosis: further evidence for nonefficacy. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND/AIM: In randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), although serum bilirubin is frequently reduced, its effect on disease progression and mortality is unclear.

External Drainage of Giant Infantile Choledochal Cyst before Definitive Repair: Is it Worth? [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017 Infantile Choledochal Cysts (IFCC) usually present with jaundice, acholic stool and abdominal lump or abdominal distension. If the surgical intervention is delayed, they rapidly progress to liver fibrosis which is considered to be irreversible if ...

Studies on Bile Pigments II. Seperation of Natural Direct Bilirubins [PDF]
, 1956 Separation of both forms of the direct bilirubin were carried out from the dog's gallbladder bile, and further isolations of them were also done. 1. The natural salt-form bilirubin was isolated after separation on the column of aluminium oxide with a n ...

Association between neonatal jaundice and autism spectrum disorders among children: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, 2020 Autism spectrum disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with an unknown etiology. The correlation between neonatal jaundice and the risk of developing autism spectrum disorder was investigated previously.
