Many articles are talking about what is lipid, cholesterol and so on, it seems that these concepts have no practical significance, so what if I know, my blood lipid or cholesterol is high here, or how to lower cholesterol, so this time we will talk about the real magic weapon that can help lower cholesterol, this magic weapon is “statin” drugs. The so-called statin is not a drug, but a family of drugs, including our common simvastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin, rasuvastatin, etc., the characteristics of the two words ending in “statin” as a family logo, let’s take it as a family name, foreign surnames are not put on the back? This family has a similar structure, except for the surname, and this special structure is related to a key intermediate step in the formation of cholesterol, which plays the role of a fish eye, thus affecting the production of cholesterol in the liver. A large number of LDL transporters are parked outside the cholesterol production plant of the liver cells, so the LDL cholesterol in the blood is greatly reduced, so if blood is drawn at this time to test, the LDL cholesterol will be significantly reduced. In this way, if you call statin drugs as lipid lowering magic weapon is also considered worthy of the name.
