Bilirubin is a standard serum biomarker of liver function. Inexplicably, it is inversely correlated with cardiovascular disease risk. Given the role of endothelial dysfunction in originating cardiovascular diseases, direct analysis of bilirubin in the vascular endothelium would shed light on these relationships. Hence, we used high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with thermal lens spe...

Objective We investigated the relationship between serum bilirubin levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and the longitudinal effects of baseline serum bilirubin concentrations on MetS in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders undergoing atypical antipsychotics. Methods The sample of this study consisted of 131 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Waist circumference, blood...

Bilirubin, an end product of heme catabolism, is primarily eliminated via glucuronic acid conjugation by UGT1A1. Impaired bilirubin conjugation, caused by inhibition of UGT1A1, can result in clinical consequences, including jaundice and kernicterus. Thus, evaluation of the ability of new drug candidates to inhibit UGT1A1catalyzed bilirubin glucuronidation in vitro has become common practice. Ho...

BACKGROUND Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has traditionally been screened by either total serum bilirubin or transcutaneous bilirubin. Whole blood bilirubin (TwB) by the GEM Premier 4000® blood gas analyzer (GEM) is a relatively new technology and it provides fast bilirubin results with a small sample volume and can measure co-oximetry and other analytes. Our clinical study was to evaluate the rel...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate derangement liver enzymes in COVID-19 patients. prevalence deranged hepatic with infection, its association other co-morbidities and any changes prognosis were investigated. Methodology: This conducted Mayo hospital from 1st June 2021 till 31st September 2021. A number 224 patients included study. Both male female varying age groups the...

Apolipoprotein D (apo D) is a 30-kDa glycoprotein of unknown function that is associated with high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Because unconjugated bilirubin has been shown to bind apo D with a 0. 8:1 stoichiometry, we examined the contribution of this protein to transport of bilirubin in human plasma. Density gradient centrifugation analysis using physiological concentrations of [(14)C]bilirub...
