Hello,
If Androgens skew our HDL/LDL values, should we not use statins like Rosuvastatin, Atorvastatin to prevent this? I believe raised LDL and lowered HDL overtime causes atherosclerosis, which is a potentially serious condition where arteries become clogged with fatty substances called plaque. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.
We take AI's, SERM's to prevent excess estrogen, and other stuff to prevent high blood pressure etc.. So why do we ignore cholesterol?
Am I missing something?
Please let me know.
Thoughts?
