Bilirubin, a by-product of haem metabolism, plays a crucial role in human physiology beyond its well-known association with jaundice. Emerging evidence underscores its antioxidant and cell signalling ...

Bilirubin, the primary breakdown product of hemoproteins, particularly hemoglobin, plays a key role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of liver diseases. In acute liver diseases, such as ...

The metabolic process of bilirubin has been a focus in medical research since the abnormal accumulation of bilirubin has been found to be associated with a variety of diseases. Bilirubin is a ...

A new study published in BMC Nephrology examined the role of total bilirubin as a potential clinical marker in adults ...

"This enzyme converts bilirubin into a variant that is water-soluble, allowing the body to get rid of the bilirubin. We are surprised that we only see this effect in the intestines of the babies, but ...

There are many mysteries in life that we end up shrugging off. Why is urine yellow? It just is, right? Rather than flush that 125-year-old question down the toilet, scientists sought out the answer, ...

The process of heme breakdown by heme oxygenase (HMOX) yields bilirubin (BR) and biliverdin (BV) as by-products. Yellow players (YP) are enzymes involved in the production of BR and BV. YP, along with ...

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 ...
