Bronchial Asthma and Bilirubin

Currently, data are accumulating on the antioxidant properties of bilirubin and its protective role in various diseases. This review considers the dose-dependent effect of bilirubin on its cytoprotective and antioxidant properties, the relationship between the level of bilirubin and the pathophysiological manifestations of bronchial asthma, in the pathogenesis of which chronic inflammation induced by oxidative stress plays a significant role. The article also focuses on the potential therapeutic use of bilirubin in the treatment of bronchial asthma.
