Reduction of Biliverdin-C¹⁴ to Bilirubin-C¹⁴ in vivo

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Radiochemically pure biliverdin-C¹⁴ was administered intravenously to rats prepared with an external biliary fistula. A major fraction of the pigment was rapidly reduced to bilirubin and was recovered from the bile as conjugated bilirubin-C¹⁴. The results are consistent with the view that bili-verdin may be an intermediate in the degradation of hemoglobin to bilirubin.
