Bilirubin Binding to PPARα Inhibits Lipid Accumulation
Numerous clinical and population studies have demonstrated that increased serum bilirubin levels protect against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Bilirubin is a potent antioxidant, and the beneficial actions of moderate increases in plasma bilirubin have been thought to be due to the antioxidant effects of this bile pigment. In the present study, we found that...
متن کاملPPARα: A Master Regulator of Bilirubin Homeostasis
Hypolipidemic fibrates activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α to modulate lipid oxidation and metabolism. The present study aimed at evaluating how 3 PPARα agonists, namely, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, and Wy14,643, affect bilirubin synthesis and metabolism. Human umbilical vein epithelial cells (HUVEC) and coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMC) were cultured in the...
متن کاملHepatic accumulation and intracellular binding of conjugated bilirubin.
After the intravenous injection of unconjugated [(3)H]bilirubin into normal Sprague-Dawley and Wistar R rats, radiolabeled bile pigments rapidly accumulated in the liver. By 1.5 min after injection, an average of 36% of the injected isotope was present in liver homogenates. Between 3 and 15 min, 37-64% of the total intrahepatic radiolabeled bilirubin was conjugated, as demonstrated by extractio...
متن کاملExpression of fatty acid binding proteins inhibits lipid accumulation and alters toxicity in L cell fibroblasts.
High levels of saturated, branched-chain fatty acids are deleterious to cells and animals, resulting in lipid accumulation and cytotoxicity. Although fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are thought to be protective, this hypothesis has not previously been examined. Phytanic acid (branched chain, 16-carbon backbone) induced lipid accumulation in L cell fibroblasts similar to that observed with p...
متن کاملLetter: "Albumin-titratable bilirubin" as an index to bilirubin binding.
ogists on the ABA-100, we found that about 13% of the samples (22 of 169) gave results which differed by more than 10 mg/liter. This prompted us to test the assumption concerning the effectiveness of the blanking wavelength. The test wavelength is 650 nm and the blank wavelength is 550 nm for the phosphorus procedure on the ABA-100. We Selected two patients’ samples that had given discrepant re...
