What is required for the systemic transport of hydrophobic hormones molecules to target cells in the body? Hydrophilic Receptor Protein Hydrophobic Receptor Protein Hydrophilic Transport Protein Motor Protein and ATP Hydrophobic Transport Protein You have not consumed food for seven hours. The concentration of which hormone would be expected to increase? ACTH Ghrelin Insulin Leptin PYY One of your female patients cannot complete some of the events that occur during puberty. You hypothesize that this could be due to a defective- ADH receptor Calcitonin receptor Estrogen receptor Testosterone receptor TSH receptor One of your patients produces insufficient concentrations of ADH and Oxytocin. This indicates problem with the - Anterior Pituitary Hypothalamus Parathyroid Gland Pineal Gland Lymph Node You have finished consuming a large meal. The concentration of which hormone would be expected to increase? ADH Ghrelin Leptin Orexin NPY
