A young man presents with a blood pressure of 175/110 mm Hg. He is found to have a high circulating aldosterone but a low circulating cortisol. Glucocorticoid treatment lowers his circulating aldosterone and lowers his blood pressure to 140/85 mm Hg. He probably has an abnormality in what enzyme? Group of answer choices 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 17α-hydroxylase 21β-hydroxylase aldosterone synthase

Charles is a diabetic with Alzheimer's disease and often forgets whether he has injected insulin or not. He is in the emergency room today because of heart abnormalities and is found to have hyperinsulinemia. You would also expect his blood analysis to show: hyperkalemia hypokalemia
Dexamethasone 1 Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid administered as an anti-inflammatory agent and immunosuppressant. It is structurally similar to cortisol produced naturally by your adrenal glands. It treats a number of conditions including inflammation, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, skin and eye conditions, asthma, multiple sclerosis, blood or bone marrow disorders, different types of cancer (e.g. leukemia and lymphoma), and severe allergies. This medication is also administered to patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms to decrease mortality rates*. Given that it is a steroid, which family of macromolecules does dexamethasone belong to? *research from the University of Oxford, "Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy" trial, recovery.net 2 Given the structures of dexamethasone (left) and cortisol (right) below, and that they both bind to the same receptor, would you expect the binding of dexamethasone to be to the active or allosteric site of the receptor? 3 Based on the…

A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl).

A patient with type I diabetes is found in a coma. Blood glucose, urine glucose, blood ketones, and urine ketones are all elevated; serum HCO3- is < 12 mEq/L. Respirations are quick and deep with acetone breath. Blood pressure is 95/61 mm Hg, and the pulse is weak and rapid (119 beats/min).What factor in this patient's condition is the major cause of their low serum HCO3-? * O The patient has been excreting acidic urine. O The patient has been hyperventilating. O The patient has compensated for the low cO2. O it has been depleted to buffer ketoacids. O The patient tries to achieve a normal (HC03-1/Pco2 ratio.

People with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus are generally not ketosis prone. This is thought to be a result of: the lack of increase in glucagons in the se individuals the presence of insulin in the individuals their obesity the fact that, their blood glucose levels do not tend to rise significantly Metabolic actions of insulin include all of the following except: increased glycogenesis decreased gluconeogenesis increased basal metabolic rate increased skeletal muscle amino acid up-take all of the above are metabolic actions of insulin
