Question 6: From the information you provided, compare and contrast pain tolerance between Frank and Paul and also between David and Jackson (Explain your Answer).

Question 7: From the information you provided, which two males are the most likely to suffer from bone development abnormalities (Explain your Answer)

Alan is 22 years of age and suffers from a mutation in his aromatase gene that aromatase activity to be less than 1% of normal. He reached puberty at a normal time, and he has a normal BMI David is 45 years of age. His weight, percent body fat and BMI are all ideal for his age. A year ago he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, and as part of his treatment regimen, h is taking a P450 SCC enzyme inhibitor and a cortisol/corticosterone supplement that raises his levels about 20% above normal Xavier is 30 years of age and 5 years ago had an unfortunate skiing accident that resulted in him being castrated. His BMI and body fat content are equal to David and Alan Jackson is 21 years of age. He is a competitive swimmer hoping to make a future Olympic team. His body fat is on the low end of normal, and he has an ideal BMI. Desiring to increase his muscle mass and endurance, he obtained pills containing purified human ghrelin because he read a scientific report that ghrelin was discovered in part based on its ability to stimulate growth hormone, and he wanted to raise his natural production of growth hormone, as growth hormone supplements are banned in Olympic sports. Six months ago he started taking an oral dose each morning after breakfast and each evening after diner. er. Four months ago he Robert, Jackson\'s identical twin brother, is also a competitive s discovered Jackson\'s ghrelin pills. Worried about Jackson getting a competitive edge, he immediately purchased and started applying a cream to his upper arms (shoulder region) that contains testosterone. Robert knows that testosterone is banned, but he is planning to submit his brothers urine if there are any random out of competition drug tests and to stop using the cream once competitions start. His testosterone levels are currently 3 times normal He has the same BMI and body fat level as Jackson Frank is 22 years of age and an Olympic swimmer that trains with the twins. He has been taking for the past year a kisspeptin antagonist (binds to the kisspeptin receptor but does not activate a cellular response) that cannot be detected by drug testing because the testing agencies do not know this designer compound exists. Frank suffers from severe asthma, so he is allowed to take a lipoxygenase inhibitor. He has the same BMI and body fat as Jackson Paul is 9 years old and has started a precocious puberty, but surprisingly, his GnRH, LH and FSH levels are not detectable. His BMI and body fat levels are normal for his age Stan is 24 years old and is an Olympic marathon runner. He is extremely lean (below normal body fat levels), and for the past 3 months, during heavy training and competitions, his caloric intake has only been enough to just meet the energy needs for body maintenance and the demands of his physical training

Solution

Plasma leptin levels.
