Thyroid health & cholesterol studies:

Kenneth B. Turner, Alfred Steiner. A LONG TERM STUDY OF THE VARIATION OF SERUM CHOLESTEROL IN MAN. J Clin Invest. 1939; 18(1):45–49. "Thyroid administration produced a sharp drop in serum cholesterol in every case. This accompanied by a rise in the basal metabolic rate."

GROSS J, PITT-RIVERS R, TROTTER WR. Effect of 3:5:3'-L-triiodothyronine in myxoedema. Lancet. 1952 May 24;1(6717):1044-5. “T3 has been administered to two hypothyroid patients in a maximal daily dose of 80 micrograms. The basal metabolic rate and blood-cholesterol levels returned to normal on this dosage; at the same time the patients lost weight during the treatment."

FRAWLEY TF, MCCLINTOCK JC, BEEBE RT, MARTHY GL. Metabolic and therapeutic effects of triiodothyronine. J Am Med Assoc. 1956 Feb 25;160(8):646-52.

O'Brien T1, Dinneen SF, O'Brien PC, Palumbo PJ. Hyperlipidemia in patients with primary and secondary hypothyroidism. Mayo Clin Proc. 1993 Sep;68(9):860-6.

Sundaram V, Hanna AN, Koneru L, Newman HA, Falko JM. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism enhance low density lipoprotein oxidation. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1997 Oct;82(10):3421-4. "The total and LDL cholesterol levels were higher in hypothyroidism than in euthyroidism and were lower in hyperthyroidism than in the euthyroid state. We conclude that LDL has more susceptibility to oxidation in both the hypothyroid and hyperthyroid states. Thus, the enhanced LDL oxidation may play a role in the cardiac disease process in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism."

THE ROLE OF THYROID HORMONES
Thyroid hormones have variable effects on lipid metabolism, because thyroid function regulates cholesterol synthesis and degradation and mediates the activity of key enzymes.15 The cholesterol-lowering effect of thyroid hormones mainly occurs through an increased expression of LDL receptors at the hepatic and peripheral levels. The fact that T3 regulates LDL receptors was discovered more than 40 years ago after the observation that in conditions of hypothyroidism, LDL cholesterol elimination was reduced.
