"Regarding the lack of effect on zymostenol and lathosterol, one possibility is that the localizations of the enzymes affected by HCQ in the cholesterol synthesis pathway are strictly regulated.Third, in high cholesterol absorbers, HCQ lowered serum cholesterol by interfering with the cholesterol-synthesis pathway."
reach
"It cannot be ruled out that in high cholesterol absorbers, HCQ might also delay the absorption of cholesterol and cholesterol precursors, or simply its higher concentration explains the more powerful effect.In high cholesterol absorbers, HCQ reduced serum cholesterol concentration and lanosterol and desmosterol ratios at one and 12 months compared with the placebo group."

"In systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including almost 40,000 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), HCQ significantly reduced serum total cholesterol (total-c) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-c) concentrations from baseline values in comparison to HCQ non-users [[1], [2], [3]]."
