[edit] Trivia Section

If you're going to include the Silence of the Lambs reference then it's only fair that Juan Luis Guerra's song, 'Me sube la bilirubina' (My bilirubin is increasing), should be included as well. It was very popular, deplored hospital conditions in the Dominican Republic and is very catchy and easy to dance to.

[edit] Bilirubin metabolism content

Christianpunk has added content to bilirubin metabolism, which was previously a redirect pointing at this article. I think it would be best to have that material merged into bilirubin and restore the title to its former status as a redirect. Comments? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More on metabolism

This page could use more info on BR metabolism... eg. ABC transporters--Xris0 (talk) 13:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Formula

Is the formula correct? I dont have detailed knowledge of it, but the nitrogene atoms have two covalent bonds, and they probably should have three.--91.127.27.233 (talk) 21:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bilirubin

"Heme is formed from hemoglobin, a principle component of red blood cells." I'm pretty sure this is not quite right, since heme is a part of hemoglobin, it doesn't make sense that it would be formed from hemoglobin. If anyone with more knowledge than I can comment, that would be great, otherwise I'll try to look it up and change it soon. Acbranch (talk) 19:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
