The longer the half-life of the statin, the longer the inhibition of reductase and thus a greater reduction in LDL cholesterol. However, the impact of inhibiting cholesterol synthesis persists even with statins that have a relatively short half-life. This is due to their ability to reduce blood levels of lipoproteins, which have a half-life of approximately 2 to 3 days. Because of this, all statins may be dosed once daily. The preferable time of administration is in the evening just before the peak in cholesterol synthesis.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Statins&amp;rft.btitle=Clinical+Lipidology&amp;rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E253-%3C%2Fspan%3E280&amp;rft.pub=Elsevier&amp;rft.date=2009&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1016%2Fb978-141605469-6.50026-3&amp;rft.isbn=978-1-4160-5469-6&amp;rft.aulast=McKenney&amp;rft.aufirst=JM&amp;rft.au=Ganz%2C+P&amp;rft.au=Wiggins%2C+BS&amp;rft.au=Saseen%2C+JS&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AStatin" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-167"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-167">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBobergAngerbauerFeyKanhai1997" class="citation journal cs1">Boberg M, Angerbauer R, Fey P, Kanhai WK, Karl W, Kern A, et&#160;al.
