I understand that cells and hormones cannot be created without cholesterol. If I absolutely had to take a statin drug due to inheritance or gene problem, I would take a an intestinal cholesterol sequestering agent, instead of one that is metabolized by the liver. But first I would try serrapeptase and nattokinase. But the point is that the liver has enough work to do, and problems occur when drugs force the liver to do things that it should do naturally.

No idea what the cholesterol was or where it was located.

Hmmm... Interesting question...

No idea... I was searching around and found this link (pretty cool, but not really an answer to the question) https://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html

although I read on the wikipedia that the brain dry weight is like 12% fat.. But it was talking about animal brains and as a food source.. So not sure how useful that information was either....

Really cool! I enjoyed reading that very much.
