Low normal thyroid function enhances cholesteryl ester transfer in T2D

Low normal thyroid function, as inferred from higher TSH, confers increased plasma CET in the context of chronic hyperglycemia. Effects of thyroid function on plasma CET may be particularly relevant in hypertriglyceridemic T2DM. Low normal thyroid function could influence atherosclerosis susceptibility in T2DM by affecting the plasma cholesteryl ester transfer process (Atherosclerosis)
