Thyroid chemical could cut cholesterol
Washington AP reports a chemical that enhances a thyroid hormone’s receptor-b could boost metabolism and reduce cholesterol with less heart acceleration. Researchers led by Gary R. Grover at Bristol-Myers Squibb found KB-141 activates receptor-b more than receptor-a, raising metabolism and inducing weight loss in animals without heart side effects. Further studies are needed to confirm safety and efficacy in humans.
