Poor thyroid function is a potential cause of elevated cholesterol.
Thyroid hormone has several different affects on the regulation of lipid production, absorption and metabolism.
- Thyroid can stimulate the expression of the HNG coa reductase.
- Thyroid hormone also increases the expression of LDL receptors on the surface of the cells in the liver and other tissues.
- With low thyroid function, which is hypothyroidism, the number of LDL receptors cells actually goes down.
- When you up regulate the thyroid you increase the number of LDL receptors on a cell.
- When you have a low number of receptors for LDL on the cell, this leads to reduce clearance of LDL from the blood and therefore higher levels of LDL.
Does that make sense?
There's studies that are out there that show that LDL cholesterol is higher in people with higher TSH levels toward thyroid function.
The ingredients in this product can be helpful in lowering cholesterol levels by increasing LDL receptors and helping with the clearance of LDL from the blood.
