Lipitor (Atorvastatin)

Surprised to find my first post to be titled after a cholesterol lowering drug name that helps reduce the chance of heart attacks and strokes. It acts as a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statins), which made me excited and sad at the same time. I thought of biochem when I read its function, but sadden me when I realize I had forgotten how cholesterol was made. I am determined to dive back into my books and figure this out.

Learning is one endless path we all walk through. But it's a matter of how well I treat this path will the memories of it leave residues.
