Two men are diagnosed with diabetes insipidus. One didn’t have the disorder until he suffered a stroke. The other had a withstood the condition all his life, and it had never responded to exogenous ADH despite the presence of normal ADH receptors. What might be the cause of the diabetes insipidus in the two men?

Diabetes insipidus has been identified in two males. One person did not have the condition until he had a stroke. The other had lived with the condition his whole life, and despite the existence of normal ADH receptors, it had never reacted to exogenous ADH. What might be the cause of the two men's diabetes insipidus? Provide your references.

Which of the following best describes the role of the hexosamine pathway in the pathogenesis of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus? Question 79 options: a) It involves irreversible binding of glucose to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids which damages components of the microcirculation leading to retinopathy, etc. b) It promotes the O-linked glycosylation of proteins and transcription factors, resulting in altered gene expression contributing to insulin resistance & cardiovascular complications c) It promotes the synthesis of DAG which increases pro-inflammatory gene expression and endothelial ET-1 production resulting in blood flow abnormalities d) It leads to intracellular accumulation of osmotically active sorbitol and fructose which damages Schwann cells, erythrocytes and the lens of the eye
A patient has hypercortisolism, and the MRI results indicate that there is hyperplasia of the right adrenal but the left adrenal appears smaller than normal. What does this generally indicate about the origin of the adrenal disorder? the adrenal hyperfunction most likely results from a secondary or tertiary disorder producing pituitary ACTH hypersecretion. the adrenal hyperfunction is most likely a result of an ACTH-secreting nonadrenal tumor. the adrenal hyperfunction is most likely a primary disorder resulting from malfunction of the adrenal gland. the hypercortisolism is probably not a result of an adrenal disorder but rather is the result of exogenous administration of glucocorticoids
