Steroid hormones, like most lipid-soluble signaling molecules, are processed directly. How does the absence of a signal transduction cascade in the processing of steroid hormones affect (b) signal regulation?

Hi everyone, here's our next question. Which of the following is not a result of a disruption in the signal transaction cascade caused by low FSH production. Well, FSH, we can recall from our content videos is follicle stimulating hormone. So, with that name we most often called to mind its function in females where when the FSH is received by the FSH receptor, this causes ovarian ripening and then stimulates ovulation. However, FSH also has an effect in males and in males that FSH is received in receptors of the cells and is essential for testes formation and spermatozoa genesis. So, when that FSH level is low, let's think about which of the answer choices would not be a result of the disruption the signal transaction cascade caused by low FSH levels. Choice A says infertility among women. Well, this uh definitely can be a result of low FSH. As we see we need um FSH for to stimulate ovulation as well as the ripening of the eggs. And so infertility in women can definitely be a result of low FSH and therefore is not our answer choice B says early puberty. Well, this would not be a result of low FSH production. Um, FSH is essential for testes formation and angiogenesis. Uh so you would not see early puberty being a result of low FSH production choice E says infertility among men and that absolutely can be a result of low FSH production. Since you need that force from a genesis. So Choice C not our answer. And finally, trust the lack of egg production and that again, is another result of low FSH, since you do need that for ovarian ripening. So Choice D. Not our answer. So again, which the following is not a result of the disruption in the signal transaction cascade caused by low FSH production. And that would be choice be early puberty. See you in the next video.
