The relationship of the anti-oxidant bilirubin with free thyroxine is modified by insulin resistance in euthyroid subjects.

The relationship of the anti-oxidant bilirubin with free thyroxine is modified by insulin resistance in euthyroid subjects.

BACKGROUND: The strong anti-oxidative properties of bilirubin largely explain its cardioprotective effects. Insulin resistance is featured by low circulating bilirubin. Thyroid hormone affects both bilirubin generation and its biliary transport, but it is unknown whether circulating bilirubin is ass...
