Answer:

c) human growth hormone

Explanation:

Human growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans. The effects of this hormone on the tissues of the body is anabolic (helps to building up tissues). So it seems reasonable that a decreasing in GH leads to age-related loss of muscle.

The secretion of GH is maximal at puberty, then it have a gradual decline during adulthood. Indeed, circulating GH levels decline progressively after 30 years of age at a rate of ~1% per year.  There is evidence that this decline in GH levels contributes to the loss of muscle tissue, adults with deficiency in this hormone tend to have a relative increase in fat mass and a relative decrease in muscle mass.

THe other options have other functions different to stimulate growth. For example thyroxine regulate metabolic rate, hearth and digestive function. Estrogen is related with development of the female reproductive system.  Aldosterone regulate salt and water in the body having great effect in blood pressure. And cortisol increases sugar level in the blood.

krok68 [10]

 Heart attacks happen suddenly when one of the arteries leading to the heart becomes blocked and cuts off the blood flow. Without oxygen, the heart muscles start to die.

Heart failure, on the other hand, usually develops gradually. The heart muscle becomes weaker and has trouble pumping blood to nourish the cells in your body. This is a chronic condition that gradually gets worse. But medications can help you live longer and better with it

You review antibiotic use for pneumonia and find the average duration of antibiotics is 10 days with a range from 5-14 days depe
STatiana [176]

"Since the intervention is designed to reduce the number of days that a resident receives antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia, the rate of antibiotic days of therapy per 1,000 resident days is most likely to change if the intervention is effective. Because this effort is not trying to reduce antibiotic starts for bacterial pneumonia, neither the rate of antibiotic starts nor the proportion of antibiotics given for pneumonia may change as a result of the intervention. Although the rate of antibiotic use by class might change if one antibiotic class is most commonly used to treat bacterial pneumonia, this measure wouldn't be the best choice for evaluating the new guideline."
