UK cholesterol checks
Hello all, my heart’s OK. A recent scan (64 slice CT, done privately overseas) showed some minor plaque in my LAD, but my calcium score was zero, and the consultant wasn’t concerned except to say I should watch my cholesterol. My total cholesterol was normal at the end of 2018 but is slightly higher

Blood test results for my Mom. Please may I ask for help reviewing them given her suspected heart attack some weeks back. Thankyou.
May I ask the expertly knowledgeable folk on this site to please assess my mothers recent blood tests results - post a suspected heart attack. We are in a very difficult situation. Our GP practice is deteriorating at a rate of knots! They are drastically short of doctors. The practice has quietly amalgamated

Sleeping patterns and time of TSH test
So just to give some context, my story is that I have almost all of the hypothyroid symptoms and have had blood work done which confirms a suspect pattern also associated with hypothyroid but a visit to the GP has revealed that in fact, I am perfectly healthy. No follow up in investigation needed. High

Scavenger Receptor Class B Member 1 Independent Uptake of Transthyretin by Cultured Hepatocytes Is Regulated by High Density Lipoprotein
I really don't know where to start with this paper! Does it make any sense that T4 can be taken into cells whilst actually bound to a transporter protein (transthyretin)? Transthyretin is also involved with vitamin A (the name comes from trans(porter) thy(roid hormone) retin(ol) - a form of vitamin

Low TG - High LDL
Hi, wonder if there's anything else I can do to lower persistently high LDL. I've switched to plant/fish/nuts over the last 6-9 months, and LDL won't go below about 135. Here are my numbers from a July blood sample: TC: 208 HDL: 65 TG: 41 LDL-C: 122 (non-HDL: 143) Also, I had the NMR test in May
