«Bilirubin, a potentially toxic catabolite of heme and indicator of hepatobiliary insufficiency, exhibits potent cardiac and vascular protective properties. Individuals with Gilbert's syndrome (GS) may experience hyperbilirubinemia in response to stressors including reduced hepatic bilirubin excretion/increased red blood cell breakdown, with individuals usually informed by their clinician that their condition is of little consequence. However, GS appears to protect from all-cause mortality, with progressively elevated total bilirubin associated with protection from ischemic heart and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Bilirubin may protect against these diseases and associated mortality by reducing circulating cholesterol, oxidative lipid/protein modifications, and blood pressure. In addition, bilirubin inhibits platelet activation and protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury. These effects attenuate multiple stages of the atherosclerotic process in addition to protecting the heart during resultant ischemic stress, likely underpinning the profound reduction in cardiovascular mortality in hyperbilirubinemic GS. This review outlines our current knowledge of and uses for bilirubin in clinical medicine and summarizes recent progress in revealing the physiological importance of this poorly understood molecule. We believe that this review will be of significant interest to clinicians, medical researchers, and individuals who have GS.»
- Comments: Endothelial dysfunction contributes to the early stages of atherosclerosis, whereby 97 expression of adhesion molecules and oxidant generating NADPH oxidase (NOX) draws 98 leukocytes to sites of injury/lipid accumulation, propagating vascular injury and encouraging 99 vascular smooth muscle proliferation and neointima formation. Increased NOX driven 100 reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and intimal thickening contribute to hypertension 101 and impaired vasodilatation, involving sequestration of released nitric oxide. Based upon its 102 ROS neutralizing antioxidant properties, it is hypothesized that bilirubin has the potential to 103 reduce or prevent endothelial dysfunction.
