- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a lifethreatening condition that results from a deficiency in the P450 enzyme steroid 21- hydroxylase. This enzyme catalyzes the first step in the conversion of progesterone into cortisol and aldosterone (Figures 26.28 and 26.29). A characteristic of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an increase in sex hormone production. Explain why this is the case.arrow_forwardA certain type of tumor results in the overproduction of glucagon. Researchers claim that treatment with insulin can counteract the effects of the excess glucagon . Provide reasoning to justify the researchers' claim.arrow_forwardHormones travel through the general blood circulation to specific sites called target tissues or (1.) Effectors , where they produce a coordinated response of the target tissues. Thus, the term endocrine (en′dō-krin), derived from the Greek words (2). _________________, meaning within, and (3) ____________, to secrete, appropriately describes this system. Endocrine glands are not to be confused with exocrine glands. Exocrine glands have (4.) _____________ that carry their secretions to the outside of the body, or into a hollow organ, such as the stomach or intestines. Examples of exocrine secretions are saliva, sweat, breast milk, and digestive enzymes. The study of the endocrine system, known as 5. _____________________. Can someone answer the 2-5?arrow_forward
