[QUOTE="Vince, post: 122859, member: 843"] The association between thyroid function and cholesterol has been known for quite some time. As early as 1934, it was recognized that “the concentration of blood cholesterol is usually raised in hypothyroidism, and lowered slightly in hyperthyroidism” ([URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16694228']1[/URL]). Today, a PubMed search for thyroid and cholesterol yields more than 3,000 articles—yet few people, and even few doctors, are aware of how various thyroid conditions can impact cholesterol levels. Let’s review the four major types and how they impact basic cholesterol measurements: [B]Hypothyroidism: [/B]People with an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, often have increased levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol ([URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8283927/']2[/URL]) and may have elevated triglyceride levels as well ([URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15010297']3[/URL]). Thyroid medication can significantly improve lipid profiles. A study in newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients found that total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels decreased after T4 treatment. Those with higher TSH levels (indicating a greater [I]need [/I]for thyroid hormone and a greater degree of hypothyroidism) at baseline saw a more dramatic reduction in cholesterol levels with T4 therapy ([URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2327707']4[/URL]).
