Increased secretion of aldosterone would result in a .... blood ph....?
decrease
What would a rise in angiotensin II levels would result in?
increase in water retension
What is the result if the anterior pituitary gland produces growth hormone in an adult?
gigantism
Which of the following most likely would be an immediate result of growth factor binding to its receptor?
An immediate result of growth factor binding to its receptor would likely be the activation of intracellular signaling pathways. This could lead to various cellular responses such as changes in gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, or survival.
Why are neurotransmitters affected by ecstasy?
LSD mainly affects the Cerebral Cortex. LSD is a serotonin receptor agonist and much of its hallucinogenic effects are thought to result from binding to the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor in particular. LSD also affects all subtypes of dopamine receptor and all subtypes of adrenoreceptor.
Is oral testosterone a steroid?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group and is found in mammals, reptiles,[1] birds,[2] and other vertebrates. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.

decrease
Steroid hormones exert their action by?
steroid hormones can pass easily through the plasma membrane, the hormones then bind to intracellular receptors which induce a metabolic pathway which later promotes transcription of a specific gene.
Acromegaly is the result of the hypersecretion hormone true or false?
Acromegaly is the result of hypersecretion of growth hormone
What is andosterone?
Andosterone is created in the liver by metabolizing testosterone. The result is an essentially inactive male sex steroid hormone. It is one of two androgens that affect masculinity in a developing fetus.
If hormones travel in the bloodstream why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
The tissue/cells need a receptor that can interact with that hormone in order to respond to it. This receptor may be on a cell membrane, inside the cell, or even inside the nucleus (in the case of steroid hormones, for example.) Like many organic chemicals in the body, they have structures which result in certain parts of the molecule being presented to cells (active sites). Because cells and tissue have different structures as well, only certain cells will react to the presence of a particular hormone. Many hormones have antagonist hormones that cause an opposite effect. This helps control negative feedback when the target organ's hormone levels are too high.
What would a rise in angiotensin II levels would result in?
increase in water retension
Are the sore breasts in the earliest stages of pregnancy a result of the HCG hormone?
Yes there are. Every pregnancy symptom is a result of the HCG hormone hun.
What are toxic cataracts?
Toxic cataracts result from chemical toxicity, such as steroid use.
How are the mechanisms of action of frusemide and losartan in treating hypertension different?
Frusemide is a loop diruetic. It prevents the reabsorption of NaCl at the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Less sodium will result in less water in retained in the body so the blood volume decreases. Although the mechanisms of diruetics is not exactly known, it is believed that it causes a reduction in blood volume which leads to decreased blood pressure. It is also believed that reducing the amount of Na+ in the body leads to a reduction of intracellular Ca2+, resulting in the muscles being less receptive to endogenous vasoconstrictors. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker. It blocks the angiotensin I receptor. This leads to less angiotensin II being produced. Angiotensin II itself is a vasodilator and it can also cause aldosterone and the antidiruetic hormone to be released. Both aldosterone and the antidiruetic hormone leads to the kidney to retain salt and this leads to more water being retained in the body resulting in a greater blood volume and a greater blood pressure. As Losartan inhibits angiotensin I receptors, it can prevent the release of angiotensin II and hence these effects.
What is to much of a growth hormone called?
Too much growth hormone would result in Gigantism.
What is the net result of the effect of aldosterone on the kidney nephron?
Sodium reabosorbtion increases, water follows, and ultimately blood volume is restored.
