In the 2005 TNT study, 10,001 people with stable heart disease received either maximum-dose 80-mg LipitorÂ® or a standard dose of 10-mg LipitorÂ® daily. 1 Maximum-dose LipitorÂ® reduced levels of harmful low density lipoprotein (LDL) to an average of 77 mg/dL.This represented a substantial reduction in LDL.In comparison, standard-dose LipitorÂ® reduced LDL to an average level of 101 mg/dL, which was also a good result.

The units of a ribosome are often described by their Svedberg (s) values, which are based upon their rate of sedimentation in a centrifuge. The ribosomes in a eukaryotic cell generally have a Svedberg value of 80S and are comprised of 40s and 60s subunits. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, contain 70S ribosomes, each of which consists of a 30s and a 50s subunit.
Ribosomes in these organelles are more like ribosomes found in bacteria with regard to size. The subunits comprising ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are smaller (30S to 50S) than the subunits of ribosomes found throughout the rest of the cell (40S to 60S).
