Chapter 25, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Kidneys are the organs of the urinary system that play a major role in elimination of the
Blood’s hydrostatic pressure of the drives the process of filtration. This process is least selective as the blood pressure forces most of the substances such as water, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, urea and other substances in the glomerular space.

Both A & Carrow_forwardThe steroid nandrolone, which is found naturally in horses, is administered to racing horses to aid in recovery. Because it is an anabolic steroid, nandrolone levels in excess of normal background levels disqualify a horse from racing. For example, to race in the Kentucky Derby, a gelding (a castrated male horse) may have no more than 1 ng/mL in the urine, whereas an unaltered male horse may have no more than 45 ng/mL of the metabolite estrane-3,17-diol in the urine. Knowing that nandrolone is an anabolic steroid, which hormone would you expect it to closely resemble? (testosterone cortisol O progesterone O epinephrine antidiuretic hormone During metabolism, carbon 3 and carbon 4 of nandrolone are reduced, forming the metabolite estrane-3,17-diol.
