Reply to A. F.Photooxidation of Bilirubin to Biliverdin and Bilirubin Structure

Bilirubin and biliverdin binding to rat Y protein (ligandin).

The binding of bilirubin to poly(L-lysine) produces an optically active complex at pH 10.1. Circular dichroism spectra of these complexes are distinguishable from those generated by binding of bilirubin to the high affinity sites on albumin. Comparison of the circular dichroism spectra of bilirubin bound to the hepatic protein ligandin with those of bilirubin complexed with albumin or polylysin...

Direct Antioxidant Properties of Bilirubin and Biliverdin. Is there a Role for Biliverdin Reductase?

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and signaling events are involved in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction and represent a major contribution to vascular regulation. Molecular signaling is highly dependent on ROS. But depending on the amount of ROS production it might have toxic or protective effects. Despite a large number of negative outcomes in large clinical trials (e.g., HOPE, HOPE-TOO...

Bilirubin benefits: cellular protection by a biliverdin reductase antioxidant cycle.

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

Letter: "Albumin-titratable bilirubin" as an index to bilirubin binding.

ogists on the ABA-100, we found that about 13% of the samples (22 of 169) gave results which differed by more than 10 mg/liter. This prompted us to test the assumption concerning the effectiveness of the blanking wavelength. The test wavelength is 650 nm and the blank wavelength is 550 nm for the phosphorus procedure on the ABA-100. We Selected two patients’ samples that had given discrepant re...
