Complement, an important effector mechanism of the immune system, is an enzymatic cascade of approx. 30 serum proteins leading to the amplification of a specific humoral response. It can be activated through the classical or alternative pathways, or

The linkage point between kinetics and dynamics of drugs and other foreign chemicals is at the active site of the target. The response is determined within certain limits by the concentration of the substance at the target and its mechanism of action

Bilirubin is a linear tetrapyrrole that is formed during the process of heme degradation. Heme is released from a series of hemeproteins, including hemoglobin and cytochrome P450, and metabolized by heme oxygenase to form carbon monoxide, biliverdin,

Drug metabolizing enzymes are known to be present and active in most extrahepatic tissues. In this review, evidence is presented that expression and activity of several extrahepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes are regulated in unique ways, which may be

Bilirubin encephalopathy results from the entry of bilirubin into the brain and is expressed by motor, sensory, and/or behavioral impairment. The jaundiced (jj) Gunn rat is a valuable animal model for studying the kinetics of bilirubin-induced neurot

The manifestations of bilirubin encephalopathy include disturbances in the visual pathway (visual gaze paralysis and distorted visual perception). In the young jaundiced Gunn rat (jj) model of hyperbilirubinemia, significant differences in visual evo

Unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) is a neurotoxic degradation product of heme. Its toxic effects include induction of apoptosis, and ultimately neuronal cell death. However, at low concentrations, UCB is a potent antioxidant that may protect cells and tis

Degradation of heme involves its conversion to biliverdin by heme oxygenase followed by reduction of biliverdin to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. There is ample evidence for the role of heme oxygenase in protecting cells from the toxic effects of
