Question
The subject who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism was given propylthiouracil (prevents T4 production and conversion of T4 to T3 in the tissues). After 2 months of treatment, her TSH levels increased by 371.15 % and her T4 levels decreased by 42.7 %. Explain why her TSH levels increased and her T4 levels decreased.

When insulin molecules bind to insulin receptors on the surface of a muscle cell, the receptors become activated, initiating a signaling pathway which eventually results in the increase in the number of passive glucose transporter on the muscle cell surface thus increases the uptake of glucose into the cell and decrease blood glucose level. Indicate whether the following conditions/practice will likely lead to diabetes (mark Yes or No). [Select] degeneration of islet cells [Select] [Select] [Select] a mutation in the insulin receptor that increases its kinase activity ✓ exercise a mutation in the insulin receptor that prevents dimerizationarrow_forward
- Thyroid peroxidase iodinates tyrosine residues within the thyroglobulin protein, and this enzymatic reaction occurs in the cytoplasm of follicular cells of the thyroid gland. True False. Although the thyroid gland releases far more thyroxine (T4) that triiodothyronine (T3), it is T3 that is the active hormone that regulates gene expression in target cells. True False In Gravesâ disease, circulating levels of both thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and TSH are very low compared to a normal person. True False I do not need explanation.

The client’s oral antidiabetic medication has been discontinued and the patient is now receiving insulin for glucose control. Which of the following statements best explains the rationale for this change in medication? Question 73 options: a) Insulin administration will help prevent hypoglycemia during the illness b) Acute illnesses like pneumonia will cause increased insulin resistance c) Infection has compromised beta cell function so the client will need insulin from now on d) Stress-related conditions such as infections induce a hypermetabolic statearrow_forward
- The subject who was diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism was given levothyroxine (synthetic T4). After 2 months of treatment, her TSH values decreased by 96.38 % and her T4 levels increased by 879.4 %. Explain why her TSH levels decreased and T4 increased.arrow_forwardWhat is the frictional loss of fitting for insulin pumps? And what is the potential energy difference in it ?arrow_forwardHumans may have Rh+ blood or Rh- blood. A person who is Rh+ (R) has a certain type of protein on the red blood cells. A person who is Rh- (r) does not have this particular protein. In humans, Rh+ dominates Rh-. Normal insulin (I) production dominates abnormal insulin production (i) (diabetes). If both parents are heterozygous for both Rh+ and normal insulin production, what phenotypes would they produce in their offspring? What are the probabilities of producing each phenotype?arrow_forward
