Direct effect of oxidative stress
Bilirubin forms from haemoglobin breakdown in aged RBCs and converts heme to biliverdin, forming UCB which binds to albumin, uptakes by hepatocyte, and conjugates it via UGT1A1 , and these metabolites are either excreted in faeces or undergo oxidation to form urobilin and stercobilin, which contribute to the characteristic colours of urine and faeces
These systems share signals through the vagus nerve, which carries information from the body's organs to the brain regions (Jackson et al., 2019
