Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormone is known to play a role in regulating the synthesis, metabolism, and mobilization of lipids. In patients with overt hypothyroidism there is an increase in serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein(a) levels, and possibly triglyceride levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid hormones help your liver process blood. When your thyroid hormone levels are low, your liver processes blood more slowly, which can lead to higher levels of cholesterol in your bloodstream. That can cause a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries.
