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.
Although our Sun appears to be yellow, it is actually white. It merely appears to be yellow because of the effect of the atmosphere. Our Sun is brighter than most of the other stars in the galaxy (which are also red dwarfs) and only about 5% of stars in the Milky Way are larger than the Sun.he Sun is presently in itâs main sequence phase, which is characterized by the ongoing production of thermal energy through nuclear fusion. Currently, more than four million tonnes of matter is converted into energy within the core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation.
