The Neuroprotective Effects of Hypothermia on Bilirubin-Induced Neurotoxicity in vitro.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that hypothermia reduces the cell death induced by bilirubin toxicity in neuronal cells. Although moderate hypothermia has a better outcome than mild hypothermia, deep hypothermia as low as 29°C has adverse effects on neuronal cell viability.
