Reviewed 100% Correct Detailed Answers
Guaranteed Pass!!Current Update
1. Metformin (glucophage) - ANSWER this drug improves insulin use
prevents age-related onset of diabetes
2. Acetyl L carnitine - ANSWER transports fats into mitochondria (acetyl
form best with brain, regular form best with body)
3. True - ANSWER T or F: Epineph/NE, T3 & T4 are all secreted by
endocrine tissues derived from ectoderm (adrenal medulla) and endoderm
(thyroid)
4. Endorphins - ANSWER what causes emotional detachment from pain,
plays central role in controlling affective states, can bind to opiate receptors
in the brain to cause sedation, analgesia & respiratory depression?
5. Glycemic index - ANSWER this is a measure of the effects of carbs on
body's blood sugar levels. the lower the number, the slower the digestion,
the less the spike in blood glucose post-prandially
6. Melatonin - ANSWER this hormone upregulates p53 and p21 tumor
suppressor genes and reduces the concentration of estrogen receptor
, alpha, which increases the risk of breast ca (v. estrogen receptor beta, wh
decreases risk of breast ca)
7. DHEA - ANSWER what hormone inhibits breast cancer cells via
androgen receptors?
8. Beta - ANSWER this brain wave signals alertness, 12-16 hz
9. Delta - ANSWER this brain wave signals sleep, 1-4 hz
10.Alpha - ANSWER this brain wave signals creativity, 8-12 hz
11.theta - ANSWER this brain wave signals drowsiness, 4-8 hz
12.Metabolic syndrome - ANSWER what is the syndrome of IR,
hyperinsulinemia, high FBS, high BP, high cholesterol and high free FA?
13.Insulin Resistance - ANSWER aka pre-diabetes; it's when the pancreas is
still working but its cells are resistant to insulin, see hyperinsulinemia and
hyperglycemia
14.frontal - ANSWER this brain lobe involved w/inability to *express*
language (broca's aphasia)
, 15.temporal - ANSWER this brain lobe involved with memory, inability to
*understand* language (Wernicke's aphasia)
16.occipital - ANSWER this brain lobe involves visual field cuts
17.parietal - ANSWER this brain lobe involves calculations, reading &
apraxia
18.cerebellum - ANSWER brain region that involves coordination,
ambulation, scanning speech, dizziness/vertigo and tremors
19.brain stem - ANSWER brain region that involves breathing (wh is
important for speech), swallowing difficulties, problems with movement
and balance, sleep apnea
20.FEV1 - ANSWER this lung PFT increases with levels of lutein, lycopene,
Na, SE, vit C and beta carotene, folate, Mg and Fe
21.False (it INCREASES risk; involved in translation regulation & IGF1 signaling
axis->premature aging) - ANSWER T or F: Broca1 + Broca2 tumor
suppressor gene mutation decreases the risk of breast, prostate, melanoma
& pancreatic cancers
22.Iodine - ANSWER this nutrient is involved in over 100 enzymatic
reactions and involved in production of thyroid hormone
