Abstract
Bilirubin accumulates within, and induces loose coupling in, rat liver mitochondria. This state, characterized by a normal protonmotive force, but increased oxygen consumption and inner membrane conductance, could impair cellular energy metabolism. Loose coupling is observed at bilirubin concentrations (12–24 μm) attained in tissues of kernicteric animals.
