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 are found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria. Those found in prokaryotes are generally smaller than those in eukaryotes. Ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to those in bacteria.ibosomes are found âfreeâ in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome. Ribosomes have only a temporary existence.
