Primary biliary cirrhosis is associated with oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction but not increased cardiovascular risk

Abstract: Aim:  Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease which is associated with hypercholesterolaemia. Further, cholestatic diseases are associated with deficiencies of anti‐oxidant vitamins. Despite these associations PBC is not associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality. The aim of this study is to assess if primary biliary cirrhosis is associated with oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and alteration of vascular compliance which is a surrogate marker for cardiovascular ri… Show more

“…Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) display decreased levels of antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E), excess HOCl release associated with eosinophil peroxidase, and decreased GST expression [255257]. The autoimmune condition in PBC was found to show IgG production against lipid peroxides and serum and saliva AMA against E2 subunits of 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase enzymes (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, 2-oxo-acid dehydrogenase, and 2-oxo-glutarate dehydrogenase) pointing to autoimmune onset of MDF [258].…”

“…Essentially, 75% of the patients in our series had a total cholesterol value greater than the normal values (> 200 mg/dL). Even if the risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease is not increased in patients with PBC, despite the presence of hypercholesterolemia (40), we reported two deaths for cardiovascular events during follow-up.…”

“…Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces liver diseases such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and others through oxidative disease [43]. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and thioacetamide (TAA) are toxins used to generate liver injury in animal models [44].…”
