So what about the potential affect a systemic inflammation might have on cholesterol mentioned in TFA? If a person were suffering from some sort of systemic inflammation (would something like Crohn's Disease count?) have an increase in cholesterol?
- carbocation 16y agoSome forms of hepatic inflammation can lead to increased cholesterol synthesis. It's not clear why, say, intestinal inflammation would lead to an increase in cholesterol, and I'm not aware of evidence suggesting that it does so. Perhaps it does, but the research isn't there yet, and from a clinical standpoint it's not used.
