Abstrakt: The bilirubin content in the vitreous body of the eye of human fetuses of gestation week 17-31 was measured. During gestation weeks 17-19, the mean bilirubin concentration was 8.67 μmol/liter; then, decreased to 1.37 μmol/liter (gestation weeks 20 to 31). Bilirubin, being an endogenous antioxidant, is probably involved in protection of the retina and lens from LPO processes that intensively develop in retinal neurons and lens fibers.
