Answer:

Podemos suponer que este estudiante tiene insuficiencia de la hormona de crecimiento (somatotropina) que la secreta la glándula hipófisis y se encuentra en la base del cerebro. Esta hormona no ingresa a las células en su mecanismo de acción por ser peptídica o no esteroidea.

Explanation:

En este caso presentado se encuentra una situación diferente a lo que sucede en el gigantismo: hay un problema hormonal en donde la hormona de crecimiento es secretada de manera excesiva. Recibe el nombre de acromegalia cuando sucede después del cierre de la epífisis del hueso, luego de la edad de crecimiento.

Which one of the "big 3" macronutrients is the most calorically dense at 9 calories per gram?
Hatshy [7]
<span>Fat is by far the most calorie loaded of the macronutrients, containing 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram for proteins and carbohydrates. Although a low fat diet is generally desirable for persons who would like to restrict their caloric intake, a no fat diet is no recommended by nutritionists or doctors since there is a dietary need for some fat in the diet.</span>
