✦ Synopsis

Removal of low-density lipoproteins from plasma by dextran sulfate adsorption (DSA) in FH patients entails a decrease in plasma levels of thyroid hormones (-28.5% and -18.78, respectively, for T3 and T4). This suggests that FH patients have a greater than normal fraction of thyroid hormones bound to lipoproteins, due to their expanded lipoprotein pool.
