Study finds strong correlation between Apo B and Apo B:apo A1 in fatal MI risk in men and women. Apo B was a stronger than LDL in predicting risk in men and women. Apo A1 was noted to be protective, but the stats were less strong.
T3 shown increase weight loss, lower LDL, decrease apolipoprotein B, decrease T cholesterol versus T4. This flies in the face of conventional medical dogma, that T 4 (synthroid, levothyroxine) is the only route of thyroid replacement. In fact, this suppports the use of armour thyroid, a T4/T3 combination.
Apo B is a key structural component of all the atherogenic lipoprotein particles, including LDL, VLDL, and IDL
Each of these atherogenic particles carries only one apo B molecule; thus, the total apo B level represents the total number of circulating atherogenic lipoprotein particles and provides the clinician a more accurate picture of a patient's risk of cardiovascular events
apo B include the fact that it does not require a fasting specimen
