Negative feedback is referred as a type of regulation, where the end product of any procedure reduces the stimulus of the procedure. Thus, the body consists of its internal controller mechanisms to maintain the body's pH, temperature, blood sugar, hormones and many other things.

- There is considerable advertising directed at men in their 50s and older suggesting that they can reverse the effects of aging by taking supplemental testosterone ( "maybe you have low T!") . Surprisingly, their doctors often comply with requests for supplemental testosterone with little or no testing to find out if their levels are actually abnormal. It turns out abnormally low testosterone levels are fairly rare in men, so not surprisingly, most men derive little benefit from the supplements. Often these patients, when they don't get the desired results, being guys, think increasing their dosage by 3 or 4 times would be better. What would be the effects of increasing the testosterone dosage on the following hormone levels? A. Low FSH; high GnRH, LH and estradiol B. Low LH, FSH and estradiol; high GnRH C. Low GnRH, FSH, and LH; high estradiol D. Low GnRH and LH; high FSH and estradiol E.

- A 38-year-old male is upset about his low sperm count and visits a "practitioner" who commonly advertises his miracle cures of sterility. The practitioner is a quack who treats conditions of low sperm count with megadoses of testosterone. Although his patients experience a huge surge in libido, their sperm count is even lower after hormone treatment. a) Which two glands would be responsive to the megadose of testosterone? b) Identify the two hormones that would be affected by the megadose of testosterone. Would their levels increase or decrease? c) What role, if any, would either of the affected hormones have on the man's reduced sperm count?arrow_forwardMost people are awake during the day and asleep at night because their ________ cycles are aligned with the outside world.
