The neurotransmitter associated with bulimia nervosa is serotonin or 5-HT.

Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder which is characterized by a cycle comprised of episodes of rapid consumption of large amount of food and compensatory behaviour, such as fasting, excessive exercise and even vomiting.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system and it is thought to be connected to feelings of well-being and happiness. More specifically, serotonin regulates mood, appetite and sleep. Regarding the regulation of appetite, serotonin promotes the feeling of satiety. Bulimia nervosa is associated with low levels of serotonin.

What results would you expect from a biuret test of steak solution?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

A positive result.

Explanation:

Biuret test is a test performed to check whether proteins are present in a given sample or not. If the solution changes its colour to violet then it means that the sample contains proteins. If the colour is not changed to violet, then the result would be negative and protein would not be present in the sample.

Steaks contain a rich amount of protein. Hence, when Biuret test is performed for a steak solution, the results will be positive. The steak sample would change colour to violet.

Some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by _________, which occurs when an infectious agent is composed of antigens w
EastWind [94]

Answer: adaptive immune response

Explanation:

Autoimmune disorders are caused by different microoorganism and drug which manipulates the immune system in a way that immune system become unable to recognise between self antigen and foreign antigen. In that case immune system treats foreign antigen as self antigen which cause systemic or organ specific damage.

The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown and hence it is  thought that it is caused by adaptive immune response which builds against self antigens and causes damage to the cells.

Hence, some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by adaptive immune response.
