The production of cholesterol within the body is predominantly within the liver. That process has a number of steps and one of the steps that produces cholesterol involves an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. It is this enzyme that the statins (the medications commonly used to lower cholesterol) can block. By blocking that enzyme, the production of cholesterol by the body, will be reduced.
