Serum bilirubin levels in overweight and obese individualsŽiberna, Lovro (Avtor) Jenko Pražnikar, Zala (Avtor) Petelin, Ana (Avtor) adipokinesantioxidantanti-inflammatorybilirubinobesityoverweightObesity is a chronic condition involving low-grade inflammation and increased oxidative stress; thus, obese and overweight people have lower values of serum bilirubin. Essentially, bilirubin is a potent endogenous antioxidant molecule with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antithrombotic, and endocrine properties. This review paper presents the interplay betweeen obesity-related pathological processes and bilirubin, with a focus on adipose tissue and adipokines. We discuss potential strategies to mildly increase serum bilirubin levels in obese patients as an adjunctive therapeutic approach.20212022-04-12 12:34:55Članek v reviji136091sl
