Influence of intravenous nutrients on bilirubin transport. I. Amino acid solutions.
The effects of synthetic amino acids on bilirubin transport were investigated with competitive binding assays, peroxidase assays, isotopic studies of bilirubin uptake by red cells, and difference spectroscopy. Results indicated that amino acids had no significant effect on the distribution of bilirubin at pigment to albumin molar ratios likely to be encountered in clinical situations.
