Hormone replacement therapy was advertised first to women in the 1990s as a way of increasing their youthfulness. Hormone replacement therapy today is usually taking pills to increase someone's estrogen or testosterone supply. Pick either estrogen or testosterone.
For either one:
1) How does your chosen sex hormone work at the cellular and at the molecular level?
2) How do these hormones improve the reproductive system as a whole?
3) What are the benefits of doing hormone replacement therapy?
4) What are the harms of doing hormone replacement therapy?
5) Who would be an ideal candidate for hormone replacement therapy?
A study divides healthy females into two groups (A and B). Both groupsare composed of those who have been sexually active for at least 2 yearsand are not pregnant at the beginning of the experiment. The subjectsweigh about the same amount, and none smoke cigarettes, althoughsome drink alcohol occasionally. Group A individuals receive a placeboin the form of a sugar pill each morning of their menstrual cycles. GroupB individuals receive a pill containing estrogen and progesterone eachmorning of their menstrual cycles. Then plasma LH levels are measuredbefore, during, and after ovulation. The results are as follows:Group 4 Days BeforeOvulationDay ofOvulation4 Days AfterOvulationA 18 mg/100 mL 300 mg/100 mL 17 mg/100 mLB 21 mg/100 mL 157 mg/100 mL 15 mg/100 mLThe number of pregnancies in group A is 37/100 females/year. Thenumber of pregnancies in group B is 1.5/100 females/year. Whatconclusion can you reach on the basis of these data? Explain themechanism involved.
Birth control pills are oral contraceptives taken by women to prevent pregnancies. The most effective forms of birth control pills contain estrogen and a small amount of progestin (a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of progesterone).
Although the most effective forms of oral contraceptive for women contain estrogen and progestin, some birth control pills contain a small dose of progestin only. This is because there are many risks and side effects associated with estrogen.Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for using a progestin-only oral contraceptive?
Select one:
a. Progesterone suppresses the maturation of follicles, thereby preventing ovulation of a mature ovum.
b. Progesterone maintains the corpus luteum as corpus luteum releases a large amount of progesterone and some estrogen.
c. Progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent the production of FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary.
d. Progesterone suppresses the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus.
