11) Postpartum estrus (PPE) is the period of receptivity immediately following parturition (giving birth). Select all that apply a) It occurs because the drop in progesterone levels resulting from the regression of the CL release DA from inhibition. b) A mouse can be pregnant and nursing a litter at the same time. If she is, the P4 coming from the CL of her pregnancy will prevent her from cycling from PPE to parturition. c) If a mouse mates with a sterile male during PPE, the resulting CL will still be maintained by the PRL released in response to suckling so she will not cycle from PPE to parturition. d) A mouse that breeds during PPE and continues to nurse the first litter may have a longer than normal gestation due to embryonic diapause. e) A mouse that breeds during PPE and continues to nurse the first litter may have a smaller than normal litter due to embryonic diapause.

1. Use the following scenario to answer questions: Stimulation of G-protein coupled receptors on ovarian cells by certain pituitary hormones promotes the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone using Gαs pathways. Suppose you are studying the release of estrogen from cultured ovarian cells exposed to pituitary hormones. What effect would the following conditions have on estrogen release in response to the pituitary hormones? Genetic deletion (knockout) of Gα along with overexpression of constitutively active PKA would result in (hint: think of epistasis experiments) Answers: a. No change in estrogen release b. Increased release of estrogen c. Decreased release of estrogen d. Can not be determined 2. Imagine that you knocked out the gene encoding the anaphase inhibitor (securin) in a population of fission yeast. Would you expect these yeast cells to be smaller than normal, longer than normal or normal-sized? a. Smaller…
Whatever the mechanisms, it has been estimated that 25–30% of human neural tube birth defects can be prevented if pregnant women take supplemental folate.
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.

If a genetic female fetus is exposed to testosterone in the uterus, would this fetus (baby) will develop a complete male phenotypic sex, partial male phenotypic sex, or a normal female phenotypic sex? Explain your answer, describing the sex phenotype of the gonads, internal genital ducts and external genitalia. What would the developmental outcome be if the fetus were instead exposed to dihydrotestosterone in the uterus?

3) The sex of some reptiles, including the American alligator, is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. For example, incubating them at 33°C produces mostly males, while incubation at 30°C produces mostly females.Scientists recently discovered a thermosensor protein, TRPV4, that is associated with this process in American alligators. TRPV4 is activated by temperatures near the mid-30s, and increases the movement of calcium ions into certain cells involved with sex determination. The results of this scientific investigation will most likely lead other scientists to hypothesize that * human sex cells also contain the TRPV4 protein 0) the TRPV4 protein affects the growth of plants other reptiles may have the TRPV4 protein in their eggs the TRPV4 protein is present in all of the foods eaten by alligators

What is the purpose of having a sex hormone binding protein within the blood stream? What is the purpose of having a specific receptor for estrogen within the cell? The estrogen receptor binding domain has many known mutations that effect estrogen binding and result in breast cancer. One particular mutation found at aspartic acid is changed to glycine in cancer patients. Draw a potential interaction with the side chain of this aspartic acid with estrogen (name and label it) and how a mutation to glycine could affect this ability to efficiently bind to estrogen. 6.
a. A typical cellular response of a mammary epithelial cell to EGF signal is proliferation. the Kd for the interaction between EGF and its receptor is 1x10^-10 M. Lets imagine that at least 25% of the receptors on a normal cell must be engaged by EGD in order to trigger the cellular proliferation response. What minimum concentration of EGF is required to reduce cell proliferation? (Show calculation). b. Mammary epithelial cancer cells have amplified levels of EGF receptors on their surface. If such a cell has 1000 EGF receptors, as compared to 200 receptors on a normal cell, what minimum concentration of EGF is required to induce cell proliferation in the cancer cell? [Show calculation]. Note that the same number of receptors (not percentage of receptors) must be activated to promote proliferation in normal cells and cancer cell. c. The ambient (unstimulated) concentration of EGF in mammary epithelial tissue is 1x10^-11 M. Will this level of EGF stimulate proliferation in normal…
