Question
Chapter 2, Problem 26RQ
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “Progestin-only contraceptives are related to increased blood glucose and LDL cholesterol levels” is true or false.
Introduction: Hormonal contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy. They contain forms of estrogen and/or progesterone hormone (natural or synthetic form). They are two types: combination hormonal contraceptives (in which both the hormones are present) and progestin-only contraceptives (with only progesterone hormone or a synthetic analogue (progestin)). Progestin hormone functions by blocking the action of the luteinizing hormone, ovulation, and preventing sperm entry, and thus it can effectively prevent pregnancy.

- Homeostasis Cases, Set A Read through each case. Fill in the blanks/spaces below based on the content of the cases. Case#1: A woman is breastfeeding her baby. The suckling of the infant at the breast activates receptors in the nipple. Sensory fibers carry signals from these receptors to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary. This stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin from the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary of this woman’s brain. The oxytocin stimulates smooth muscle fibers in the ducts of the breast to contract, squeezing milk into the infant’s mouth. The baby nurses more strongly, stimulated by the release of the milk. The oxytocin release and breast stimulation continue for the entire time the infant is nursing.
