Kisspeptin is a protein in humans that has an important role in initiating secretion of the releasing factor gonadotropin-releas

ing hormone (GnRH). Endocrinologists are finding that the protein kisspeptin and its receptor are central to sexual maturation at puberty. Neurons that release kisspeptin carry estrogen receptors. If this is a negative feedback system, high levels of estrogen would be expected to: decrease kisspeptin synthesis. increase kisspeptin synthesis. neither increase nor decrease kisspeptin synthesis because steroid hormones do not affect protein synthesis.

Answer:

decrease kisspeptin synthesis

Explanation:

Kisspeptin is a protein involved in the regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH): it stimulates the secretion of GnRH. GnRH than stimulate the release of gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH stimulates the  production of estrogens by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles.

In negative feedback system, high levels of estrogen will bind to their receptors on neurons that release kisspeptin and inhibit its further release.

Amino acids with hydrophobic r groups are most often found buried in the interior of folded proteins.True or False.
Art [367]

The answer is; True

Since the body is mainly composed of water solutions, molecules in the body need to be hydrophilic to interact positively with the water. For proteins to dissolve well in the body the hydrophilic groups are located on the outside of the folded proteins while the hydrophobic groups are ‘hidden’ in the inside of the protein. If the hydrophobic parts were located in the outside, the proteins would clump up togetehr and interfere with their functions.
