Statins are a group of medicines that can help lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as bad cholesterol, and statins reduce the production of it inside the liver.aving a high level of LDL cholesterol is potentially dangerous, as it can lead to a hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) . CVD is a general term that describes a disease of the heart or blood vessels. It is the most common cause of death in the UK.
The colour of a star is primarily a function of its effective temperature. You should recall that a star approximates the behaviour of a black body radiator. As a black body gets hotter its colour changes. If you were to heat a solid shot put it would first emit radiation in the infrared region.
So, remember, blue stars are blue because of the temperature of their surface. And theyâre so hot because blue stars are much more massive than cooler stars like our Sun. We have written many articles about stars on Universe Today.
