Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 5CCS
23-Year-Old Female with Menstrual Irregularity
Jasmine Herrera, 23, has been referred to the endocrinology clinic. She is very overweight, with obvious acne and facial hair. She complains of irregular menstrual cycles. “My husband and I want to use the rhythm method," she says, “but I don’t have any rhythm!”
5. Jasmine’s blood tests reveal very high levels of androgens. She is diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this syndrome, the woman develops high levels of androgens and many vesicular follicles, but has reduced fertility because few follicles are ovulated and the timing of their release is unpredictable. Part of the profile of PCOS is that LH levels are high. How would this lead to androgen excess, and what clinical evidence of androgen excess does Jasmine have?

Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply. Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.arrow_forwardWhen physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.arrow_forward
