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

Just started with NDT - one random spell of heart palpitations/irregular rhythm - is this normal?
Hi, My TSH came back at 8 but my T4 and T3 were in the normal range - sub-clinical hypothyroidism. I had all the usual symptoms of low energy, fatigue, brain fog, heavy legs etc. but haven't taken levothyroxin for over 2 years as I felt no better (only my bloods were in reference). I know this sounds

Triglycerides to HDL ratio
Hi, I've just been reading that a low triglyceride/hdl ratio can indicate that you have good insulin sensitivity and relatively large, less harmful LDL particles. Does anyone know if this is true? The reason I ask is because since starting statin therapy and adopting a mainly Mediterranean diet my blood

Statin Dilemma
Thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I had my telephone appointment with the Lipid Clinic. I did refuse the Simvastatin 10 mg once again. I do have an appointment booked with the GP in two weeks time, to discuss going forward. The thing to remember is of course that we are all so individual,

At that time I refused to take the statins and was left to be reviewed at a later date. I was told that

How to reduce LDL further - followed all the normal advice

I wasn't completely surprised as my father had major bypass surgery and my mother a series of strokes. I had noticed some tightness
