Chronic sleep deprivation inhibited hypothalamic secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in male rats. If these finding are extrapolated to humans, explain how decreased GnRH with sleep deprivation would affect gonadotropins and sperm development in men (explain how decreased GnRH with sleep deprivation would affect Follicular stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and sperm development).

- What is the expected effect on reproduction on an individual with hormone levels shown above? Identify two physiological changes that will not occur due to the atypical hormone levels shown above. The graph above shows the estrogen and progesterone levels of an individual during a menstrual cycle of 28 days. The top light blue line indicates the progesterone levels and the bottom purple line indicates the estrogen levels. This individual is in luteal phase.This individual can be expected to have low levels of FSH and LH.arrow_forward1. Use the following scenario to answer questions: Stimulation of G-protein coupled receptors on ovarian cells by certain pituitary hormones promotes the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone using Gαs pathways. Suppose you are studying the release of estrogen from cultured ovarian cells exposed to pituitary hormones. What effect would the following conditions have on estrogen release in response to the pituitary hormones? Genetic deletion (knockout) of Gα along with overexpression of constitutively active PKA would result in (hint: think of epistasis experiments) Answers: a. No change in estrogen release b. Increased release of estrogen c. Decreased release of estrogen d. Can not be determined 2.

- Whatever the mechanisms, it has been estimated that 25–30% of human neural tube birth defects can be prevented if pregnant women take supplemental folate.arrow_forwardA study divides healthy females into two groups (A and B). Both groupsare composed of those who have been sexually active for at least 2 yearsand are not pregnant at the beginning of the experiment. The subjectsweigh about the same amount, and none smoke cigarettes, althoughsome drink alcohol occasionally. Group A individuals receive a placeboin the form of a sugar pill each morning of their menstrual cycles. GroupB individuals receive a pill containing estrogen and progesterone eachmorning of their menstrual cycles. Then plasma LH levels are measuredbefore, during, and after ovulation. The results are as follows:Group 4 Days BeforeOvulationDay ofOvulation4 Days AfterOvulationA 18 mg/100 mL 300 mg/100 mL 17 mg/100 mLB 21 mg/100 mL 157 mg/100 mL 15 mg/100 mLThe number of pregnancies in group A is 37/100 females/year. Thenumber of pregnancies in group B is 1.5/100 females/year. Whatconclusion can you reach on the basis of these data? Explain themechanism involved.arrow_forwardBoth men and women produce testosterone, but levels of testosterone are generally higher in men than women. However, levels of testosterone in some XX females fall within the range of testosterone levels of XY men. This overlap has created controversy within women’s sports. Testosterone is known to increase muscle mass and enhance some types of athletic performance, so some people have suggested that women with naturally high testosterone have an unfair competitive advantage. In 2011, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) adopted a policy that limits levels of testosterone in women athletes, saying that women athletes must not have a blood testosterone concentration greater than 10 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L), a level typically seen in men. Some elite women athletes have natural testosterone levels above this limit and have challenged the policy. Do you think that it is fair for XX females with naturally high testosterone (levels typically found in XY males) to…arrow_forward
- _____ is a form of 46,XY intersex that affects chromosomal males. It is by far the most common form of 46,XY intersex. These individuals have testes that produce testosterone, but their bodies lack working androgen receptors. When these individuals are born they often have female-typical genitalia, and they develop female secondary sex characteristics at puberty. They also tend to develop a female gender identity. A) Androgen insensitivity syndrome B) Turner's syndrome C)Congenital adrenal hyperplasia D) 5-alpha reductase deficiencyarrow_forwardFigure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.arrow_forwardIf a genetic female fetus is exposed to testosterone in the uterus, would this fetus (baby) will develop a complete male phenotypic sex, partial male phenotypic sex, or a normal female phenotypic sex? Explain your answer, describing the sex phenotype of the gonads, internal genital ducts and external genitalia. What would the developmental outcome be if the fetus were instead exposed to dihydrotestosterone in the uterus?arrow_forward

With reference to this diagram answer the following questions: Hormone secreting cells A FIGURE 1 What percentage of each of the following types of cells would you expect to contain an X chromosome. Give a REASON for your answer in each case. i) type cell A ii) type cell B Name the cell type labelled B which under goes mitosis. State the importance of mitosis in a mature testis. State TWO ways in which cell division results in cell C being genetically different from one another. The graph in Figure 2 shows the effect of light on the period of oestrus in two groups of female sheep. The females in the control group were subjected to the normal seasonal variation in day length. Partially through the first year of the experiment, sheep in the experimental group were subjected to reversed day-length cycle. The period of oestrus of each group of sheep is shown in solid bands above the graph (Figure 2).arrow_forwardIf a genetic female fetus is exposed to testosterone in utero, would that individual develop a complete male phenotypic sex, partial male phenotypic sex, or a normal female phenotypic sex?
