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.
Statins block the production of cholesterol in the liver itself. They lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, and triglycerides, and have a mild effect in raising HDL, the good cholesterol. These drugs are the first line of treatment for most people with high cholesterol. Statins have been shown in multiple research studies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and death from heart disease. Side effects can include intestinal problems, liver damage, and muscle inflammation.
