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.
To restate the abovementioned facts, what simvastatin is used for is to generally lower the lipid contents in the blood. This means that this drug is obviously used for patients with high serum levels of LDLs and VLDLs. This is still indicated even for people without heart disease, as high levels of these lipids can cause other problems other than a heart attack.
