Acromegaly is the result of hypersecretion of growth hormone
Surgically removing the tumor from the anterior pituitary can help improve symptoms of acromegaly, such as reducing excessive growth of bones and tissues. However, some anatomical effects, like changes in facial features or enlarged organs, may not completely reverse even after tumor removal. Additional treatments and long-term monitoring may be necessary to manage these residual effects.
The hypothalamus triggers the production of certain sex hormones like luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). These hormones then stimulate the production of testosterone in males and estrogen and progesterone in females from the testes and ovaries, respectively.
No, up-regulation involves an increase in the number of receptors on target cells in response to low hormone levels, which enhances the cell's sensitivity to the hormone. This helps the target cells respond more effectively to the hormone.
No, growth hormone can also act directly on target tissues to promote growth and development. It stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver, which then exerts many of the growth-promoting effects attributed to growth hormone.
False. Genetic variation is found in all organisms, both wild and domesticated, as it is a natural result of reproduction and mutation. Domesticated organisms can also exhibit genetic diversity due to selective breeding practices.
If you are not taking hormone supplements then you are pregnant. You can get a false negative, you cannot get a false positives.
can levothyroxine produce hcg hormone or give a false positive pregnancy result
This is false
No. Adipex has nothing to do with the HCG hormone which is used to detect the pregnancy hormone.No.
Smoking weed can potentially impact the accuracy of a pregnancy test result by affecting hormone levels in the body, which may lead to a false negative result.
False.
False. Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas, not in the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid gland is responsible for producing parathyroid hormone (PTH), which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the body.
On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy.
Luteinising hormone (LH) is made by the pituitary gland and stimulates the mature egg to be released from the ovary, this is called ovulation.
false-pancreas
Yes, if the miscarriage was recent then your hormone levels are still not back to normal and it could cause a false positive result on a pregnancy test.
