- 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_forwardAll of the following hormones are properly classified EXCEPT (use the table below for general characteristics) (A) thyroxin-arachidonic acid (B) thromboxanes-arachidonic acid derivatives (C) estrogen-steroid (cholesterol based) (D) growth hormone-small protein (< 200 amino acid) (E) norepinephrine- amino acid derivativearrow_forwardName one hormone produced by each of the following organs—the heart, liver, and placenta—and state the function of each hormone?.arrow_forward
- In the 1950s, Earl W. Sutherland, Jr., and his colleagues carried out pioneering experiments to elucidate the mechanism of action ofepinephrine and glucagon. Given what you have learned in this chapter about hormone action, interpret each of the experiments described below. Identify substance X and indicate the significance of the results.(a) Addition of epinephrine to a homogenate of normal liver resulted in an increase in the activity of glycogen phosphorylase. However, when the homogenate was first centrifuged at a high speed and epinephrine or glucagon was added to the clear supernatant fraction that contains phosphorylase, no increase in the phosphorylase activity occurred.(b) When the particulate fraction from the centrifugation in (a) was treated with epinephrine, substance X was produced. The substance was isolated and purified. Unlike epinephrine, substance X activated glycogen phosphorylase when added to the clear supernatant fraction of the centrifuged homogenate.(c)…arrow_forwardOn a realistic drawing of the endocrine glands in the body (such as a photocopy of Figure 17.1), indicate the gland associated with (a) cretinism, (b) diabetes mellitus, (c) acromegaly, (d) secreting thyroid-stimulating hormone, (e) secreting a hormone that regulates the nightly activities of our circadian rhythms, (f) secreting estrogens, (g) secreting DHEA.arrow_forwardIdentify which of the following hormones characteristically regulates the activity of the cell whose nucleus is marked by the arrow in the two images below?
