Photooxidation of Bilirubin to Biliverdin and Bilirubin Structure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Education, 2008
Two recent articles in this Journal dealt with bilirubin (BR), the yellow pigment of neonatal jaundice. While BR is a fascinating biomedically-relevant tool for teaching photochemistry and stereochemistry, both articles are minefields of misinformation whose main pedagogical use might be as examples of error.

Identification of a bilirubin receptor that may mediate a component of cholestatic itch

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Various pathologic conditions result in jaundice, a yellowing of the skin due to a buildup of bilirubin. Patients with jaundice commonly report experiencing an intense non-histaminergic itch.

Bilirubin production and hour-specific bilirubin levels [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Perinatology, 2015
We assessed the relative contributions of increased bilirubin production (indexed by end-tidal carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, corrected for ambient CO (ETCOc)) to hour-specific total bilirubin (TB) levels in healthy late preterm and term newborns.Post hoc analyses of concurrent ETCOc and TB (at 30±6 h of age) and follow-up TB levels at age 96±12 ...

Bilirubin-liposome interaction. Binding of bilirubin dianion, protonization, and aggregation of bilirubin acid. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1981
Interaction of bilirubin with phospholipid liposomes was studied at varying pH. Liposomes were prepared from egg-phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, egg-phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine with 5% (w/w) cholesterol, phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin, and a lipid preparation from cat brain ...

Morphology and composition of gallstones in 90 cholecystectomys performed at the Hospital Universitario del Caribe. 2008 -2009

open access: yesRevista Ciencias Biomédicas, 2010
The biliary lithiasis is a major problem in Western health systems; many studies have identified several risk factors including increased cholesterol saturation, which is why most of the gallstones can be dissolved with bile salts, but this constitutes a
