Abstract Background Bilirubin’s ability to lower lipid levels was confirmed by several studies, but those studies mainly focused on total bilirubin (TBil). The present study aimed to elucidate the correlations of the two subtypes of bilirubin with lipid levels. Methods A total of 1732 male patients undergoing health checkups were categorized into three groups according to the levels of direct bilirubin (DBil) and indirect bilirubin (IBil). The differences in medical characteristics among the three groups were analysed. Results Subjects in the elevated DBil group had the lowest serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total cholesterol (TC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), fasting blood glucose (FBG), haemoglobin (HGB), and triglyceride (TG) levels in contrast to the other groups (P |
