Relationship between plasma unbound-bilirubin concentration and cerebellar bilirubin content in homozygous Gunn rat sucklings. 1978

H Sato, and R Semba

Suckling increases and starvation (16 h) decreases plasma unbound-bilirubin concentration in 15-day-old homozygous Gunn rats. The effect of suckling-induced increase of plasma unbound-bilirubin concentration on cerebellar bilirubin content was examined. Cerebellar bilirubin content of the suckled rats did not increase, but rather decreased, in spite of the elevated concentration of plasma unbound-bilirubin . There were significant negative correlations between cerebellar bilirubin content and b. wt both in the suckled and starved groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007647 Kernicterus A term used pathologically to describe BILIRUBIN staining of the BASAL GANGLIA; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM and clinically to describe a syndrome associated with HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Clinical features include athetosis, MUSCLE SPASTICITY or hypotonia, impaired vertical gaze, and DEAFNESS. Nonconjugated bilirubin enters the brain and acts as a neurotoxin, often in association with conditions that impair the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER (e.g., SEPSIS). This condition occurs primarily in neonates (INFANT, NEWBORN), but may rarely occur in adults.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
