That's only when the enzyme deficiency is a consequence of taking Zocor. The 20% category is mostly folks who just don't produce that or some other enzymes.

Mine is not resolved with supplements ~ besides, I don't need an anticholesterol drug anyway.

Another deficiency out there involves the lgE type antibody. If you don't make them your lgG type antibodies take on most of the burden of dealing with whatever it was got the lgE types churned up by the T-Cells.

Recently some clever scientists were playing around with their mice and discovered they had a breed who didn't produce lgE antibodies. This stirred them to determine what biological processes might be perturbed/changed/eliminated as a conseuence. Lo and behold they all concerned the liver ~ including some reduction in the ability to metabolize triglycerides.

I anxiously await the rest of their findings ~ and will send a small token of my respect to the local mouse god.
