Statin drugs are inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase, thereby inhibiting steroid synthesis via the mevalonate pathway, blocking production of steroid hormones. This includes protective progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA and their metabolites. You’re better to suffer high cholesterol than the side effects of statins. Oxidized cholesterol taken from atherosclerotic plaques are esterified with oleic, arachidonic, docosahexanoic and eicosapentanoic acids. Highly reactive, inflammatory polyunsaturates are the problem in cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis.
