Inside the membrane, a salty cytoplasm takes up most of the cell volume. All cells possess DNA, the hereditary material of genes, and RNA, containing the information necessary to build various proteins such as enzymes, the cell's primary machinery. There are also other kinds of biomolecules in cells.
Statins could cause liver and kidney problems, research shows. Statins could cause liver and kidney problems, research shows. Cholesterol-lowering drugs taken by millions of Britons could cause liver, kidney, muscle and eye problems, research out today suggests. Statins are used to treat people with high cholesterol and to cut the chances of heart disease or stroke in those at high risk, such as diabetics and people with angina.
