Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.
Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:
Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.
Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.
Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.
Answer:
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are produced by introducing an antigen to a mouse and then fusing polyclonal B cells from the mouse's spleen to myeloma cells. The resulting hybridoma cells are cultured and continue to produce antibodies to the antigen.
Explanation:
An example of a monoclonal antibody is blinatumomab (Blincyto, Amgen), used to treat certain cancer, types of acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Answer:
Explanation:
To preserve Zoological garden expertise are needed to manage the creatures that are there.
Good and conducive environment should be provided for the animals.
Routine cleaning to avoid outback of diseases
Adequate resources should be provided this include food to avoid eviction of important species.
Geosphere is made up of the crust they form the layer of soil that support growth of plant and also supply nutrients.
Atmosphere is made of gas some of which help sustain life. Example is oxygen, carbon dioxide
Hydrosphere form the liquid portion of the earth it included large water bodies that serves as habitat for aquatic organism.
Oxygen and carbon are been released into the atmosphere where they are been taking up by plant or animal dead and remains of this organism lead to the release of this gases in both organic and in organic form back into the soil where it is taken up by plants back into the atmosphere and some are washed in the water bodies.
Plants takes in carbon-dioxide from atmosphere, absorbs nutrients from the soil through their root and water from the water table needed fro their growth.
A supension is formed when two or more materials are insoulable so they
rest on top of each other. For instance, sand and oil are insoulable
(unable to be mixed together) so based on density, one rises above the
other, making a suspension.
