Zinc sulfate inhibits the enterohepatic cycling of unconjugated bilirubin in subjects with Gilbert’s syndrome

We have previously observed that UCB binds to ZnSO4in vitro, and suppresed the biliary bilirubin secretion in the hamster. The aim of this study was designed to investigate whether Zn salts might inhibit the enterohepatic cycling of UCB in subjects with Gilbert´s syndrome. Fifteen patients with Gilb...
