How does the ability to produce artificial HGH affect human life?

Biology

The secretion of human growth hormones (HGH) is regulated at the genome level by genetic and epigenetic factors (environment and diet among others). And the expression of the gene of this hormone differs from one individual to another, so the quantity produced differs between individuals, which explains why we observe individuals of different sizes in a population.

Growth hormone acts by interaction with cellular receptors, it affects carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism.

A key component of growth is the growth hormone releasing factor or the growth regulating factor (GH-RF or GRF). This chemical messenger is produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. GH-RF allows the pituitary gland (the "master gland" involved in the growth process) to secrete growth hormone, the main hormone responsible for a person's growth.

GH is not only involved in growth phenomena, it also plays a role in the fine regulation of reproductive phenomena in both male and female mammals.

Answer:

Human growth hormone (HGH) is the polypeptide hormone released from the anterior pituitary. This hormone is also known as somatotropin that plays an important role in human development.

The human growth hormone regulates the cell growth, development, cell reproduction and cell regeneration. The excess release of growth hormone causes gigantism and its deficient release causes dwarfism in the individual. The irregulation of growth hormone disturb the cellular metabolism of the body.  This irregulation of the hormone can be maintained by giving artificial HGH hormone. The deficiency of HGH hormone can be treated by the artificial introduction of HGH.

In samples of DNA isolated from two unidentified species in bacteria, X and Y adenine makes up 32% and 17%, respectively, of the
Vikki [24]

Answer:

On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.  

The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.

Which are the three main types of lipids
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The three main types of lipids are - triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

Explanation:

Lipids are organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether). The three common lipids are triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

An ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids is a triglyceride. These are the main component of body fat in the vertebrates as well as the vegetable fat.

A Glyceride consisting of 2 fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol molecule covalently through ester linkages is a diglyceride.

Biologically active organic compounds with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration are steroids.
