1 answer:

3 0

After sensing a drop in calcium levels in the body,parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid glands will be secreted in a negative feedback mechanism of homeostasis
first the parathyroid hormone stimulates release of calcium ions from the bone through the process of bone reorption
then the parathyroid hormone will reduce urinary excretion of calcium by increasing its re absorption in the nephron
finally , the parathyroid hormone will increase the rate of vitamin d synthesis in the small intestine to yield more calcium

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP ) is a biological oxidant involved in the oxidation of testosterone to estradi

ankoles [38]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

NADP does not convert testosterone to estradiol. This oxidation is done by a steroid 17-a-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

This oxidation is essential for stability of hormone: it helps to regulates the elevation of Testosterone in women,subduing the manifestation of male sexual characteristics,

and

for preventing autoimmune diseases.

<u>The oxidation involved two basic steps of reaction, controlled by two different enzymes.</u>

<u>NADP is a Co- factor, when in reduced form( NADPH) is used in Calvin cycle, of light independent reaction of photosynthesis, and in Nucleic acid and triglycerides synthesis</u>.

It has nothing to do with conversation of Androgen( testosterone to Estradiol.
