M ale hormones are synthesized starting from
cholesterol.
Testosterone is synthesized starting from cholesterol.
The muscle contains an energy source: glycogen
The glycogen incorporated in the
muscle depends on testosterone
|
Statines decrease the production of
cholesterol.
Consequently the production of testosterone is decreased.
The glycogen does not penetrate any more in the muscle.
The muscle melts (rhabdomyolysis = acute deterioration of the muscle) |
