There are no reports of species differences in bilirubin photochemical changes in this spectrum, and the characteristics of bilirubin photochemical changes in humans must be elucidated to proceed with the development of new light sources that include these spectra. This report describes the characteristic photochemical kinetics of bilirubin under green-spectrum LEDs in human, rat, rabbit, dog, pig, sheep, bovine and chicken serum albumin and rhesus monkey serum. These albumin-bilirubin complex solutions were irradiated by green LEDs, and the time-course changes in bilirubin photoisomers were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The cyclobilirubin production rates in humans, pigs, and monkeys were significantly higher than those in other species. The rate constant of (EZ)-cyclobilirubin production from (EZ)-bilirubin ‘k’ was significantly higher in humans and monkeys than in other species. In conclusion, bilirubin photochemical kinetics under green spectrum LEDs in humans were characterized by a high cyclobilirubin production rate at a low substrate concentration. The bilirubin photochemical kinetics in monkeys were similar to those in humans.}, school = {香川大学, Kagawa University}, title = {Characteristics of bilirubin photochemical changes under green light-emitting diodes in humans compared with animal species}, year = {}, yomi = {ニイ, コウイチロウ} }
