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.
Astronomers classify stars based on their age, color, and brightness. These characteristics help them identify and understand the different kind OS stars. A stars surface temp â¦ erature determines the amount of visible light given off its brightness and the color we perceive the star to be. new stars are white-blue, older ones yellow (our Sun), oldest ones black (like a black hole if they are really big when babies). The color also depends on the size of t â¦ he star; but that is another topic.
