Following LeoPa's “On CLL, diet and possible connections.”
I am also curious about the preferred energy source of CLL cells. Particularly the cholesterol role. If the CLL cells use cholesterol do they use whatever is present, or is there a signaling going on telling/initiating production—that causes cholesterol to rise? Below are a few articles I found on

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

Cholesterol and CLL
Hoping for some information from the wise ones here - back in January my GP said she wanted to start me on a statin as my cholesterol was high. I said I preferred to try to bring it down myself rather than with medication (and my intent here is not to start a debate on statins - I just prefer a natural

No health issues before diagnosis, now everything is a little scary
Sorry, I can’t give any current thyroid results as am on some medication for an abscess which affects blood results . Am still on 50mcg. Since diagnosis from scan initially last December I have been diagnosed with diabetes , which I’m not happy about really . I had one blood test which was 51, then given

Stopping ezetemibe
1 year post NSTEMI and stent and finally had a call from cardiologist. Basically all fine thankfully. They said I could stop ezetemibe but stay on 40mg atorvastatin. Bit confused as NHS website says ezetemibe is for life. My cholesterol numbers are good ( LDL 1, ratio 1.9, total 2.5, triglycerides 0.4

Cholesterol, Hypothyroidism, Statins
The issue of elevated cholesterol in those with undiagnosed/under medicated hypothyroidism used to be commonly known. Not so now, the information is out there but not sufficiently joined up and prominent in many doctors minds to be a frontline consideration. Thus we need to be well versed so we can

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Genetic background strongly influences the impact of carrying the Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism in the male mouse
Are you male? Are you a mouse? Do you carry the Thr92Ala-DIO2 allele? Can you wait for the publication of this paper? Can you wait for the human version of this trial? And do you consider it necessary to wait for the eventual publication of the human trial before considering T3? It is undoubtedly

Pain under right rib following increased levothyroxine dose
My TSH was good for the first following up, but raised above the threshold in my last blood
test
. My last
test
also showed high
cholesterol
. So, I had my levo dosage raised to 75mg.
