Question
Chapter 47, Problem 13PIAT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The hypothesis that the pill affects the normal hormone secretion and signaling in the body.
Introduction:
The pill’s mechanism was confirmed by the scientists by measuring the plasma hormone levels before and after the use of the pill. Single asterisk (*) signifies P < 0.05, double asterisks (&) signify P **lt; 0.01, and triple asterisks (&*) signify P **lt; 0.001.
The given statistical data represents a drop in the level of all the four hormones after the pill ingestion. The pills affected the hormone signaling drastically, thereby decreasing the levels of the hormones. In all the four bar graphs of the hormones, the hormone levels drop.

Place the following steps (showing how a steroid hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, fourth, and last. Refer to image.
The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus of the cell and binds to the DNA.
The steroid hormone passes through the cell membrane.
The hormone attaches to a receptor in the cytoplasm, forming a hormone-receptor complex.
A gene in the DNA is activated, and transcription and translation take place.
Proteins that alter the cell′s activities, such as enzymes, are made.
2. Place the following steps (showing how a hydrophilic hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, and last. Refer to image.
The activity of the target cell is changed by the final enzyme in the cascade.
The second messenger activates or deactivates certain enzymes in a cascade fashion.
A second messenger is activated.
Hormone binds to a receptor protein.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using genetic engineering to produce human insulin.

- Researchers measured prolactin and growth hormone in the blood plasma of six subjects at regular intervals over a 24-hour period. The investigators were interested in determining if the levels of these two hormones cycle over a 24-hour period. The Figure presents the results of their experiments, with the y axis values showing the amount of each hormone expressed as a percentage of the 24-hour mean value, and each point showing the average of the six subjects levels. FIGURE Mean concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma, averaged for six subjects and expressed as a percentage of the average concentrations measured for the 24-hour period. Do the results support the hypothesis that the changes in prolactin level over a 24-hour period are associated with the sleepwake cycle? Source: From J. F. Sassin et al. 1972.
