BLVRA and Alzheimer disease: BR can also interact with and neutralize NO radicals leading to the formation of NO-bilirubin (Barone et al., 2009), whereas BV, through NO-dependent nuclear translocation of BLVR, inhibits Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) expression (Wegiel et al., 2011), another factor known to regulate AD susceptibility (Chen et al., 2012).
