Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Statin. MedicalConspiracies@googlegros drugs interfere with the synthesis of squalene and coenzyme Q10 The Biosynthesis of Cholesterol This flow chart traces the synthesis of cholesterol from acetyl CoA, a substance derived from the metabolism of any source of energy. It shows where statins (HMG CoA reductase-inhibitors) interfere with cholesterol synthesis, and how they also interfere with the synthesis of squalene and coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10's synthetic pathway is also shown, where it deviates from that of cholesterol. http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Synthesis-Of-Cholesterol.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
