The relationship between the thyroid gland and the liver
http://qjmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/95/9/559
from the Oxford University Press This isn't a new study. I found the explanation interesting. Before I began thyroid treatment my total cholesterol ran 170-176. My cholesterol after thyroid treatment is 160 or a bit lower. |
Abstract
Thyroxine and tri‐iodothyronine are essential for normal organ growth, development and function. These hormones regulate the basal metabolic rate of all cells, including hepatocytes, and thereby modulate hepatic function; the liver in turn metabolizes the thyroid hormones and regulates their systemic endocrine effects. Thyroid dysfunction may perturb liver function, liver disease modulates thyroid hormone metabolism, and a variety of systemic diseases affect both organs. We highlight the intricate relations between the thyroid gland and the liver in health and disease. |
