Update on dyslipidemia in hypothyroidism: the mechanism of dyslipidemia in hypothyroidism [PDF]
Endocrine Connections, 2022 Hypothyroidism is often associated with elevated serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglycerides. Thyroid hormone (TH) affects the production, clearance and transformation of cholesterol, but current research shows that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) also participates in lipid metabolism independently of TH.

Circulating PCSK9 and cardiovascular events in FH patients with standard lipid-lowering therapy
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019 Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) has been proposed as a novel target for coronary artery disease (CAD). Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by high prevalence of CAD and major cardiovascular events (MACEs ...

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2016 Lipoproteins constitute a set of proteins and lipids, organized to facilitate the transport of lipids through blood plasma. Elevated or decreased levels of these lipoproteins may be related to genetic alterations in 40% to 60% of cases.1 This fact explains why it is common to find lipid abnormalities in several members of the same family.
