Also see: The effect of raw carrot on serum lipids and colon function The Cholesterol and Thyroid Connection In the 1930′s accurate diagnosis [of hypothyroidism] was made by evaluating a variety of indications, including basal oxygen consumption, serum cholesterol level, pulse rate, temperature, carotenemia, bowel function, and quality of hair and skin. -Ray Peat, PhD [...]
Energy depletion itself is an excitatory state, that calls for increased fuel and oxygen. But when cells are exposed to PUFA, their ability to use glucose is blocked, increasing their exposure to the fats. Saturated fats activate the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme that is essential for the efficient use of glucose, while PUFA block it. -Ray Peat, [...]

Rats had a bright red laser beam shined on their heads for 15 minutes and then the respiratory enzymes of the Krebs cycle was studied. The changes were consistent with enhanced respiration. (A.T. Pikulev, et al., Radiobiology 24(1):29-34, 1984). -Ray Peat, PhD Radiobiologiia. 1984 Jan-Feb;24(1):29-34. [Enzyme activity of glutamic acid metabolism and the Krebs cycle [...]
