Question
Chapter 43, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The probable causes and physiological effects of calcium deficiency in adults.
Introduction:
During the life of a vertebrate, minerals such as calcium and phosphate ions are constantly deposited and withdrawn from the bones. These ions are stored in the endoskeleton from where they are released as per the requirement to maintain the levels of these ions in body fluids.

Oxytocin is a reproductive hormone associated with parturition and lactation. A research study examined the blood serum levels of oxytocin in patients who have Type 2 diabetes and those with normal blood glucose levels. Each group was then subdivided into normal weight patients and obese patients. The levels of oxytocin were found to be lower in the obese patients with Type 2 diabetes than in the normal weight patients with normal blood glucose levels.Select the FOUR possible side effects that a lower level of oxytocin may have on a patient.
Naturally occurring labour
Induced labour
Weaker uterine contractions during labour
Stronger uterine contractions during labour
Increased levels of prostaglandins
Decreased levels of prostaglandins
Increased movement of milk into the breast
Decrease movement of milk into the breast
Proper explanation and diagram
What happens to the insulin-secreting capacity of a type 2 diabetic
placed on insulin therapy earlier than recommended? Can the external
supply of insulin improve the functional capacity of the insulin-secreting
cells, to some extent by providing some rest to these cells? Is inhaled insulin a suitable substitute for injectable insulin?
Is there, or will there soon be, insulin in the form of a tablet?

Consider this example: The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary to release the TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). TSH then stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone. When elevated levels of thyroid hormone are detected by the hypothalamus and pituitary further release of TRH and TSH is suppressed. B. What would happen to the levels of TRH and TSH if a tumor of the thyroid gland were discovered resulting in uncontrolled release of the thyroid hormone from the tumor itself?arrow_forwardA family is identified in which some individuals are heterozygous for an inactivating mutation of the calcium-sensing receptor, CaSR.

- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using genetic engineering to produce human insulin.arrow_forwardEndocrine regulation of the body is generally significantly slower than neural regulatory mechanisms. Consider the benefits produced by such slow regulation that might have promoted development of this system.arrow_forwardHormone release and regulation is a complex interplay of control systems, feedback pathways and the concentration of circulating substances. Demonstrate your understanding of how negative feedback systems work by considering what would happen if the usual mechanisms no longer applied. You may like to think about an ectopic source of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), as secreted from a small cell carcinoma of the lung, as an example. In your explanation of how negative feedback systems can be derailed, describe how hormone/s released from the target endocrine organ usually regulate the feedback loop.arrow_forward
- The subject who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism was given propylthiouracil (prevents T4 production and conversion of T4 to T3 in the tissues). After 2 months of treatment, her TSH levels increased by 371.15 % and her T4 levels decreased by 42.7 %. Explain why her TSH levels increased and her T4 levels decreased.arrow_forwardChronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.arrow_forwardDiabetes 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.
