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

Free T3 and T4 at the bottom of the ranges. What to do next?
Hello, this forum is fantastic! Thank you for your support. I've just received my test results. Bloods were taken 8:30AM, fasting, no levo 24 hrs prior. My TPO increased from 100 and TgAb from 532 since April 2019. I'm currently on 75mcg levo, for which I had to really push my GP to prescribe on TSH

Cholesterol increase on statins
My HDL has gone up a little but my
LDL
has more than doubled! How can this be? How can my levels be higher since starting statins, improving my diet and exercising? Has anyone had similar experience?

Someone asked about Low Dose Naltrexone.
I thought I would post this on main site so that people can read. I have an unusual journey. I have been on LDN for about 2 weeks now. I am not sure if it has helped but I think that perhaps it is along with the other things I am trying. I developed disabling PMR in late March of this year (2019).

Low Dose Naltrexone
Wondering if anyone has had experiences using LDN for PMR ? I was recommended to check into this with my GP and Rheumatologist by a Geneticist friend who has Grave's disorder and this has done wonders for her. For more info https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29885638

LDH markers
My husband was on immunotherapy for lung cancer which had spread to lymph nodes and pleura. The immunotherapy was stopped as a CT scan showed spread to the liver. He has now been put on Carboplatin and Pemetrexed. After his last (2nd) dose of that his bloods showed an increase in LDH. Stupidly I Googled
