Free bilirubin travels from the sinusoids in the plasma into the hepatocytes of the liver, where it is changed into conjugated bilirubin.

How does free bilirubin convert into conjugated bilirubin?

The liver's uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP) converts unconjugated bilirubin into conjugated bilirubin by attaching it to glucuronide. After that, bile excretes conjugated bilirubin.

How does bilirubin produce and leave the body?

  • Red blood cells break down, leaving behind bilirubin as a waste product. The liver is where bilirubin is processed since it is the byproduct of heme metabolism.
  • Heme, biliverdin, and unconjugated bilirubin are all products of the breakdown of hemoglobin into its component parts. Unconjugated bilirubin binds to serum proteins in the blood, most often albumin. The liver then absorbs the unconjugated bilirubin.

In Type I diabetes, the body fails to produce insulin and, thus, individuals must inject themselves with insulin before eating.
Annette [7]

Explanation:

<em>Excess insulin in the bloodstream causes cells in your body to absorb too much glucose (sugar) from your blood. It also causes the liver to release less glucose. These two effects together create dangerously low glucose levels in your blood. This condition is called hypoglycemia</em>
