Measurement and clinical usefulness of bilirubin in liver disease

open access: yesAdvances in Laboratory Medicine, 2021
Elevated plasma bilirubin levels are a frequent clinical finding. It can be secondary to alterations in any stage of its metabolism: (a) excess bilirubin production (i.e., pathologic hemolysis); (b) impaired liver uptake, with elevation of indirect ...

Bilirubin ameliorates murine atherosclerosis through inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and reshaping the immune system

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2022
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused mainly by lipid accumulation and excessive inflammatory immune response. Although the lipid-lowering and cardioprotective properties of bilirubin, as well as the negative relationship between ...

Bilirubin as a Therapeutic Molecule: Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
There is strong evidence that serum free bilirubin concentration has significant effects on morbidity and mortality in the most significant health conditions of our times, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity/metabolic syndrome ...

Identification of Binding Regions of Bilirubin in the Ligand-Binding Pocket of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-A (PPARalpha)

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Recent work has shown that bilirubin has a hormonal function by binding to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα), a nuclear receptor that drives the transcription of genes to control adiposity.

Bilirubin as a Metabolic Hormone: The Physiological Relevance of Low Levels.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology. Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020
Recent research on bilirubin, a historically well-known waste product of heme catabolism, suggests an entirely new function as a metabolic hormone that drives gene transcription by nuclear receptors.

Inhibition of Lipid Accumulation in Skeletal Muscle and Liver Cells: A Protective Mechanism of Bilirubin Against Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Ectopic lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle and liver drives the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2). Mild hyperbilirubinaemia has been repeatedly suggested to play a role in the prevention of DMT2 and is known for its capacity to shape an ...

Utilising feed effectors and automated feeders for semi‐intensive pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 540-551, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Feed effectors have been suggested to improve the efficiency of plant‐based shrimp diets by increasing attractability and palatability. This research trial aimed to expand upon previous Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) research involving plant‐based diets, feed effectors and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a laboratory setting ...

Molecular Physiology and Pathophysiology of Bilirubin Handling by the Blood, Liver, Intestine, and Brain in the Newborn.

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2020
Bilirubin is the end product of heme catabolism formed during a process that involves oxidation-reduction reactions and conserves iron body stores. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is common in newborn infants, but rare later in life. The basic physiology

A phase II study of neoadjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (XELOXIRI) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 81-90, January 2023., 2023
XELOXIRI neoadjuvant chemotherapy appears to be feasible and efficacious for patients with LARC. Although neoadjuvant XELOXIRI alone did not yield our expected pCR rate, the local recurrence rate, 3‐year DFS and measures of safety met current standards.

External Drainage of Giant Infantile Choledochal Cyst before Definitive Repair: Is it Worth? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Infantile Choledochal Cysts (IFCC) usually present with jaundice, acholic stool and abdominal lump or abdominal distension. If the surgical intervention is delayed, they rapidly progress to liver fibrosis which is considered to be irreversible if ...
