Question
Consider the endocrine feedback systems shown in Figure 1. Please indicate the short-term (minutes to hours) and long-term (days) effects on the plasma level of Hormone and on the output of the Target Tissue of the following changes listed below. Explain your reasoning.
a. Increase in X
b. Increase in the Concentration of Carrier Protein
c. Liver or Kidney disorder
d. Inactive receptor at the Target Tissue
e. Inactive receptor at the Endocrine Gland
f. Insensitivity of the Endocrine Gland to X
Figure 1 Carrier/rotein Stimulus EndocrinExplanation / Answer
a)increase in x value represents the negative feedback on the target tissue and a stimulating effect on the kidney excretion or liver metabolism.
b)increase in the concentration of protein increases the rate travelled through the entire parts to the target tissue.
c) liver or kidney disorder does not functions the proteins to travel through the entire system.
d) inactive receptor at the target tissue involves the stimulating effect of the proteins.
e) inactive receptor at the endocrine gland is always associated with the stimulus.
f) insensitivity of the endicrine gland to x is due to both the negative feedback and stimulating effect.
