Chapter 49, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To propose: A hypothesis to explain how a receptor for aldosterone appears to have evolved much earlier than aldosterone itself.
Introduction: The endocrine system is the chemical signaling system that uses blood vessels as information channels. The endocrine glands are ductless organs located within the organ systems and contain groups of endocrine cells that secrete their hormones directly into their surroundings.
Hypothesis: The receptor for aldosterone might bind with another similar hormone in early times that no longer exist.

6. Increasing the aldosterone secretion during prolonged muscle activity in hot
weather allows you to compensate for the sodium loss in sweat and remove
the accumulated excess of potassium. Explain these biological effects of the
hormone during exercise. For answer:
suruction starting with nonmonė
c) explain the role of the hormone in the regulation of gene transcription and
translation;
d) describe the role of proteins that have their synthesis regulated by aldosterone.
3. After eating food, the concentration of glucose in the blood
increased, which caused the secretion of a hormone that
normalized the concentration of glucose.
A. Name this hormone, where is it made?
B. Draw a diagram of the regulation of the release of this
hormone. What is an adjustable parameter?
C. Can there be a hormone concentration in the scheme as a
RP. If so, show it in outline?
D. Could it be that the concentration of the hormone in the
blood was increased, but this would not lead to the
normalization of the concentration of glucose in the blood, which
remained above normal, and this would lead to the appearance
of glucose in the urine and an increase in daily diuresis.
E. Name the possible causes of a violation in the circuit of
regulation of hormone secretion.

If she is, the P4 coming from the CL of her pregnancy will prevent her from cycling from PPE to parturition. c) If a mouse mates with a sterile male during PPE, the resulting CL will still be maintained by the PRL released in response to suckling so she will not cycle from PPE to parturition. d) A mouse that breeds during PPE and continues to nurse the first litter may have a longer than normal gestation due to embryonic diapause. e) A mouse that breeds during PPE and continues to nurse the first litter may have a smaller than normal litter due to embryonic diapause.arrow_forward8.

Patients with diabetes have elevated levels of glucose in their bloodstream. Normally, the kidneys do NOT play a role in the regulation of blood sugar levels (blood sugar levels are regulated via the pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon). However, a new drug called Farxiga® (dapagliflozin) allows diabetics to lower their blood sugar levels by helping the kidneys get rid of glucose from the bloodstream. How do you think this drug works? What is the drug's target?arrow_forward
