Anti-HMGCR antibody titers ranged from 2,800 to 80,000 (mean 12,606) and were similar in patients with and without statin exposure (table). Serum CK was high in 83% of our patients (mean 4,232 IU/L; range 26 to 27,000). Fifty percent of patients with normal strength had high serum CK (mean 447 IU/L; range 48â1,846).atients with HMGCR antibodyâassociated myopathies present with weakness and muscle discomfort and often have damage to both perimysial connective tissue and muscle fibers, with necrosis and myonuclear pathology.
Density dependence occurs when the population growth rate, or constituent gain rates (e.g. birth and immigration) or loss rates (death and emigration), vary causally with population size or density (N). When these parameters do not vary with N, they are densityâindependent.
A Density Dependent Limiting Factor is a factor of a population where a large, dense population is more strongly affected than one that is small and less crowded. What is a density dependent limiting factor that can affect the human population growth of North Carolina? disease. tornadoes.
