One week after undergoing this procedure, which of the following hormone levels would be ABOVE normal? A. Anti-Müllarian hormone B. Chorionic gonadotropin C. Prolactin D. Inhibin E. Ghrelin 8. Kallmann's syndrome is a form of hypogonadism associated with a deficiency of GnRH-secreting neurons in the hypothalamus. What would be the effect on serum hormone concentrations in non-pregnant adult women with Kallmann's syndrome? A. Low gonadotropins and estrogens, normal androgens B. Normal gonadotropins, high estrogens, low androgens C. High gonadotropins, low estrogens and androgens D. Low gonadotropins, normal androgens and estrogens E. High gonadotropins and androgens, low estrogens 9. Which of the following is NOT involved in the disease cystic fibrosis? A. Synthesis of nonfunctional surfactant molecules B. Dysfunction of active transepithelial transport of chloride C. Dysfunction of ciliary motility D. Dysfunction of CFTR E. Inhibition of NaCl + water transport by airway epithelia 10.
