The defining feature that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells (Bacteria and Archaea) is that they have membrane-bound organelles, especially the nucleus, which contains the genetic material, and is enclosed by the nuclear envelope.ukaryote cells include a variety of membrane-bound structures, collectively referred to as the endomembrane system. Simple compartments, called vesicles or vacuoles, can form by budding off other membranes.
When statins were first introduced, doctors were told that they had few, if any, side effects. Research since then has demonstrated that statins can cause peripheral neuropathy, among other problems. Those who need to lower their cholesterol and cardiac risk but prefer to avoid statins will find many suggestions in our Guide to Cholesterol Control and Heart Health.
Side effects of statins include muscle pain, increased risk of diabetes mellitus, and abnormalities in liver enzyme tests. Additionally, they have rare but severe adverse effects, particularly muscle damage. They inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase which plays a central role in the production of cholesterol.
