Scientists are running pharmacokinetics study on hormone X. They gave a test subject an initial IV injection of 100 mg/mL of hormone X and monitored the patient over time. After 1.5 hours, blood test analysis showed that only 30 mg/mL remained in the blood Urine output over this time frame was 5 mL and analysis of the urine revealed that it had a concentration of 65 mg/mL of hormone X. Further analysis of the blood determined, that the fraction of unbound hormone X was 1 (100%).

Based on these results: 1. How would hormone X be synthesized in a cell?

2. What type of receptor would Hormone X bind to at the target cell?

3. Calculate the metabolic clearance rate (show all work):

Hormones coordinate responses among many body tissues, which may seem unrelated. However, synchronizing the response in multiple tissues is highly adaptive. A) Give an example of one hormone that regulates different effects in different tissues/organs. B) For the example, mention what those effects are and where they take place. C) For one hormone, explain why it makes sense for to use the same hormone in order to regulate them.

In patients with autoimmune diseases, the adaptive immune systemrecognizes some normal cells or proteins as though they wereforeign. Defects in the regulated apoptosis and clearance of cellsare thought to cause or exacerbate some autoimmune diseases.

A. Explain briefly which cells normally undergo apoptosis andcan cause autoimmune disease if they survive inappropriately.

B. Explain briefly why a defect in clearance or engulfment ofapoptotic bodies might lead to autoimmune disease.
