Acesso em: 06 jul. 2022.1089-7623http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/jspui/handle/123456789/16089With the aim of improving phototherapy for neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia), this study investigates the degradation of unconjugated bilirubin under irradiance by conventional light and by white, red, green, and blue LED sources in vitro. The absorption spectra of bilirubin under these different light sources are compared. The results demonstrate that white LED phototherapy promotes more efficient bilirubin degradation than conventional blue-light therapy. This study provides a basis for the design of novel phototherapy devices for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.en-USrestritoArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0046430https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0046430
