Table 1 Effect of brain mitochondria (BM) and liver mitochondria (LM) on rate of peroxidation of unbound UCB by HRP (Kp)

From: Effect of bilirubin on cytochrome c oxidase activity of mitochondria from mouse brain and liver

  1. Kp was determined by method described in [23], to measure the coupled constant rate of bilirubin oxidation by HRP. aControl, no mitochondria; bBM, mouse brain mitochondria; cLM, mouse liver mitochondria.
