a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of variables present in the graph.

Introduction: The parathyroid hormone is located on the dorsal surface of the thyroid gland. The main function of parathyroid hormone is to elevate the concentration of Ca2+ in the plasma. To achieve this increase, parathyroid hormones act on the kidney, bones, and intestine.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The ways in which the results of the study can be explained.

Introduction: The parathyroid hormone increases the reabsorption of calcium in the distal part of the nephron in each kidney. It enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium via its action on vitamin D3.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether supplements of multivitamins affect the results.

Introduction: The hormone 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol increases the intestinal absorption of calcium. This hormone is also known as vitamin D3 or calcitriol. The body synthesizes calcitriol from vitamin D that has been acquired through diet or formed in the skin through the action of sunlight.

Next, compare blood glucose concentrations of wild type mice fed NCD to Cmah mice fed NCD. Do these data support, contradict or say nothing about the hypothesis that the \textit{Cmah} gene does not affect blood glucose? Explain your answer thoroughly.
A study followed 900,000 US adults from 1992 to 2008. At baseline, all participants were screened and determined to be cancer free and their body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Body mass index is a measure of obesity that is calculated using a person’s height and weight. Subjects were separated into the following groups according to their BMI: (a) normal weight, (b) slightly overweight, (c) moderately overweight and (d) greatly overweight. 57,145 deaths from cancer occurred in the population during the follow-up period.  to show the public health impact of obesity on cancer mortality in the total population, the authors stated that 90,000 cancer deaths could be prevented each year in the total US population if adults could maintain normal weight. What measure of association is being described?
Out of these associations between a potential exposure (risk factor) and an outcome (health condition or disease), identify the one that is most likely to be causal based on the "strength" of the association. Assume that you no nothing else about the factors and/or the outcomes. Please note: the values of some associations are hypothetical/imaginary, the associations are plausible   a. A number of chemicals in tobacco products have been shown to induce cancers in laboratory settings   b. Men employed in occupations requiring them to sweep chimneys with tars and/or mineral oils have been shown to have 200 times risk of dying from scrotal cancer compared with men not engaged in such occupations.   c. Those who regularly engage in moderate to high intensity physical activity are half as likely to suffer a premature cardiac event compared with those who do not exercise at all.   d. Adults who frequently experience inadequate and/or poor quality sleep at night are…
