Diabetes insipidus has been identified in two males. One person did not have the condition until he had a stroke. The other had lived with the condition his whole life, and despite the existence of normal ADH receptors, it had never reacted to exogenous ADH. What might be the cause of the two men's diabetes insipidus? Provide your references.

- Metabotropic receptors function by activating nearby G proteins and are referred to as G-coupled or linked receptors. Various types of G proteins exist, each leading to distinct downstream outcomes. Stimulation of stimulatory G proteins, i.e., Gs proteins, results in the production of CAMP, which can promote the opening of different ion channels. Based on this, which of the following describes the decreased excitability of muscle cells with the activation of a specific Gs protein-linked receptor? Note: Pick all that apply. The activated ion channels were potassium (K+) gated channels, causing hyperpolarization and subsequently reducing the production of action potentials. The activated ion channels were sodium (Na+) gated channels, causing repolarization and subsequently reducing the production of action potentials. The activated ion channels were chlorine (CI-) gated channels, causing depolarization since Cl- will leave the cell and subsequently reducing the production of action…arrow_forwardExplain how mutations in the following proteins might result in either loss of responsiveness to a given hormone or production of a continuous signal even in the absence of the hormone: a mutation in the regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, making R incapable of binding to the catalytic (C) subunitarrow_forwardWhat is physiological mechanism of steroid-induced diabetes development?
