malfunction | the loss of biliverdin reductase A results in the reduction of mitochondria number, decreased expression of markers of mitochondrial biogenesis, uncoupling, oxidation, and fusion, which paralleles reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Biliverdin reductase A KO cells exhibit increased levels of ROS generation and decreased levels of superoxide dismutase mRNA expression | Mus musculus |
metabolism | critical role for biliverdin reductase A in protecting against lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in hepatocytes which may serve as a future therapeutic target for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) | Mus musculus |
