Molecular and micellar associations in the pH-dependent stable and metastable dissolution of unconjugated bilirubin by bile salts.
Unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) is almost insoluble in water at neutral pH, but appears in normal human gallbladder bile at concentrations up to 35 microM. We therefore determined whether conjugated bile salts could increase the dissolved concentration [( Bt]) of UCB over the pH range 3.0-11.0. Using c...
