Dexamethasone 1 Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid administered as an anti-inflammatory agent and immunosuppressant. It is structurally similar to cortisol produced naturally by your adrenal glands. It treats a number of conditions including inflammation, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, skin and eye conditions, asthma, multiple sclerosis, blood or bone marrow disorders, different types of cancer (e.g. leukemia and lymphoma), and severe allergies. This medication is also administered to patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms to decrease mortality rates*. Given that it is a steroid, which family of macromolecules does dexamethasone belong to? *research from the University of Oxford, "Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy" trial, recovery.net 2 Given the structures of dexamethasone (left) and cortisol (right) below, and that they both bind to the same receptor, would you expect the binding of dexamethasone to be to the active or allosteric site of the receptor? 3 Based on the…
Imagine that the average age for a female child to reach puberty in your family is 12 years old. However, your niece Cynthia begins menstruating and developing mature female sexual characteristics at 10 years of age. When consulting with her parents you learn that she was fed soy milk as a child. Explain how this might occur, applying your knowledge of reproductive and developmental toxicology and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Be sure to include a description of the potential mechanisms (molecular, cellular, and physiological) that would explain her precocious puberty.

A family eats homegrown vegetables daily which is irrigated with water from a river polluted with benzene having a concentration of 0.05 mg/L. The cancer potency factor for ingesting benzene is 2.9 x 10² mg/kg.day. a) Following the EPA exposure factors, determine the lifetime cancer risk assuming the receptor is an adult. State all assumptions. b) To reduce the lifetime cancer risk, it is proposed that the village replaces their homegrown produce with fish caught in the same river. Determine the percentage change in lifetime cancer risk from this potential solution and advise the community on the better food source of the two.
