A fluorescent protein sourced from Japanese eel muscles can be used to accurately detect unconjugated bilirubin in newborns. This detection method is ideal for newborn patients who can only give ...
RECENT work by N. H. Martin 1, showing complex formation between bilirubin and the α-globulin as well as the albumin components of plasma, is not only of great theoretical and practical significance ...
Unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) causes encephalopathy in severely jaundiced neonates by damaging astrocytes and neurons. Astrocytes, which help defend the brain against cytotoxic insults, express the ATP ...
Bilirubin is toxic in most biological systems tested. Several mechanisms have been suggested for this toxic effect, including inhibition of enzyme systems and inhibition of cell regulatory reactions ...
Data from two preclinical studies, one involving a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease 1 and the other a mouse model of pancreatitis, 2 support the therapeutic effects of administrations of ...
Bilirubin is a yellowish substance created by the breakdown of red blood cells. Detecting it in your urine can be a sign of a health problem, such as liver or gallbladder disease. The detection of ...
