What are pituitary dwarfs?
Pituitary dwarfs are individuals with a condition called pituitary dwarfism, which is caused by insufficient production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. This results in stunted growth and short stature. Treatment often involves hormone replacement therapy to help promote growth.
Is it true that some transgenic animals grow faster because they have extra copies of growth hormone genes?
Yes, it is true. Some transgenic animals have been engineered to express extra copies of growth hormone genes, leading to increased production of growth hormone in their bodies. This results in accelerated growth and development, allowing these animals to grow faster compared to their non-transgenic counterparts.
Photosynthesis results in the production of?
Glucose + Oxygen.
Did the result of thyroidectomized rat indicate hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism?
There is no longer a thyroid, so it results in hypothyroid.
Pituitary dwarfism results from a decreased secretion of?
Growth hormone from the pituitary gland, leading to stunted growth and development, often diagnosed in childhood. Treatment can involve growth hormone therapy to help promote normal growth in affected individuals.
What is the hormone whose production in inadequate amounts results in miscarriage?
Progesterone
Whose production in inadequate amounts results in diabetes mellitus?
insulin
What hormone when produced in inadequate amounts results in abnormally small stature and normal proportions?
The Growth Hormone (GH). This hormone is produced by the Petuitary Gland (The master gland)
What results from inadequate production of surfactant and the resultant collapse of alveoli?
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Hyposecretion of what hormone results in anemia?
Erthropoietin. It regulates erthropoIesis, which is the production of red blood cell
Define the difference between primary and secondary endocrine pathology?
Primary endocrine pathology refers to dysfunction within an endocrine gland itself, causing abnormal hormone production. Secondary endocrine pathology results from dysfunction in the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, leading to inadequate stimulation or suppression of hormone production in the target endocrine gland.
What is it called when the defective protein that results in the production of excessive amounts of thick mucus?
Cystic Fibrosis
The disease diabetes insipidus?
Diabetes insipidus is characterized by frequent urination of large amounts of dilute urine. It is caused by either a reduced production of anti-diuretic hormone by the hypothalmus, or a reduction in the sensitivity of the kidneys to anti-diuretic hormone. Diabetes insipidus generally results in dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the bloodstream (most concerning being sodium and potassium).
What hormone is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the hormone that is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance results in the production of increased, but ineffective, insulin.
A lack of what hormone results in the abnormal growth if children?
The hormone is the growth hormone. It is responsible for growth
Diabetes insipidus results when?
Diabetes insipidus results when there is a lack of anti-diuretic hormone, which is responsible for the creation of water channels in the collecting duct of the kidneys. Without ADH, water cannot be absorbed. This results in excess amounts of urine, excessive thirst and dehydration.
What hormones stimulates proliferation of red blood cells in red bone marrow?
Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
