Mass loss of wood is one of the most important features in heat treatment and is. commonly referred to as an indication of quality. Several authors studied mass loss with. heat treatment and concluded that it depends on wood species, heating medium, temper-. ature, and treatment time (Fig. 1).
Simvastatin is used to: 1  lower bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein [LDL]) and triglycerides in the body. 2  increase good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein [HDL]) 3  slow the development of heart disease and reduce the risk of stroke.
It is used along with exercise, diet, and weight loss to decrease elevated lipid levels. It is also used to decrease the risk of heart problems in those at high risk. The primary uses of simvastatin are for the treatment of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.imvastatin is a powerful lipid-lowering drug that can decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by up to 50%. It is used in doses of 5 to 80 mg. In secondary prevention, 80 mg per day reduced major cardiovascular events by an absolute rate of 1.2% compared with 20 mg per day in a randomized controlled trial.
