title: Occurrence of bilirubin-IX beta in the gallbladder bile of eel, Anguilla japonica.
abstract: Bilirubin-IX beta isomer was detected in the bile of eel, Anguilla japonica, as evidenced by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of free acid and its ethyl anthranilate diazo derivatives. Bilirubin-IX beta accounted for 16.7 +/- 6.0 (mean +/- S.D.) percent of the total bilirubins in the bile of 40 eels analysed, and the percentage was much higher than that reported in the biles of mammals.
