- Folic acid is a fundamental element required in the diet of pregnant women. Why? Describe the developmental pathway where folic acid is crucial factor and the expected cellular responses. Why Is it imperative for a woman to take folic acid if she is planning to become pregnant? Manufacturers of maternal care products are aware of the importance of folic acid in pregnancy.

However, although the evidence is clear that a mother’s heavy consumption is dangerous to the fetus, the effects, if any, of light alcohol consumption on the fetus are far more ambiguous. In view of the current state of knowledge, do you think it is ethical to give blanket, prescriptive-like advice to women to not drink alcohol if they are pregnant? In considering your answer, consult the articles by Gavaghan (2009), Kelly et al. (2009), and Murray et al. (2016).arrow_forward
- 10. Researchers have discovered a new compound that is a candidate for birth control. Its proposed mechanism is to be a progesterone receptor agonist meaning that it binds and activates receptors that would normally recognize progesterone. Researchers are interested in understanding the efficacy of the new compound, in other words, how well does its progesterone receptor agonist activity prevent the possibility of pregnancy. Assume that we are working in a rodent model system (mouse or rat) and propose a research design to test the efficacy of this compound. This design needs to address the proposed mechanism that this compound is a progesterone receptor agonist. Include a description of the variables in the experiment, the treatment groups, the procedure to detect the efficacy of the proposed mechanism, and an explanation of the results that would be required to confirm the efficacy of this compound for birth control. D. Focus 五arrow_forwardDescribe the development of reproductive organs in a fetus of each gender. Which genes, gene products, and hormones are involved in the sex differences? Which sex- related hormones are circulating in high concentrations in a pregnant woman compared to a nonpregnant woman? Do these hormones cross the placenta (if you are uncertain, consider hormone chemical class relative to membrane permeability to make an educated guess)? Assuming these hormones do cross the placenta, how do they affect the hormonal environment inside the fetus, and how does this relate to fetal reproductive development?arrow_forwardExplain the principle of Lateral Flow Devices and how it is use to dect human chorionic gonadotropin.arrow_forward
- During the first few weeks of pregnancy, chorionic gonadotropin substitutes for luteinizing hormone to maintain the high progesterone levels needed to support fetal development. What is the property of hCG that allows it to perform this function? A. Secretion by the placental trophoblastic cells B. Lack of regulation by progesterone negative feedback C. Up regulation by positive feedback from FSH D. Sharing a common subunit with anti-Müllerian hormone E.

Here, α1and α2 are constants and α1 ≠α2. If C1(0)=c0 and C2(0)=C0, use eigenvalues and eigenvectors to solve the system for C1(x) and C2(x).
