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.
Another difference is that ribosomes in prokaryotes are smaller than in eukaryotes. However, two organelles found in many eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts, contain ribosomes similar in size and makeup to those found in prokaryotes.This is one of many pieces of evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts are themselves descended from free-living bacteria.owever, two organelles found in many eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts, contain ribosomes similar in size and makeup to those found in prokaryotes.
