Free heme initially binds to the lipoproteins LDL and HDL which are highly susceptible to oxidation by ferriheme (FeHM). The half-life of the heme:lipoprotein complex is longer than 20 sec. Heme is then transferred to the antioxidants albumin and hemopexin (Miller and Shaklai, 1999; Jeney et al, 2002)
