Doxylamine is inferior to Ondansetron because doxylamine is
-
Fast in action and blocks serotonin receptor
-
Slow in action and blocks only histamine receptor
-
Slow in action and blocks serotonin receptor
-
Fast in action and blocks only histamine receptor
Correct Answer
A. Slow in action and blocks only histamine receptorExplanation
Doxylamine is inferior to Ondansetron because it is slow in action and blocks only histamine receptors. This means that it takes longer for doxylamine to start working compared to Ondansetron, and it only targets histamine receptors while Ondansetron can also block serotonin receptors. Blocking serotonin receptors can be more effective in preventing nausea and vomiting, which is why Ondansetron is considered a better option.Rate this question:

The dose of Bacillus Subtilis in children is
-
1-2 billion CFU/d
-
2-3 billion CFU/d
-
2-4 billion CFU/d
-
3-4 billion CFU/d
Correct Answer
A. 2-4 billion CFU/dExplanation
The correct answer is 2-4 billion CFU/d. This range indicates the recommended dose of Bacillus Subtilis for children. CFU stands for colony-forming units, which refers to the number of viable bacteria in a sample. This suggests that children should consume between 2 to 4 billion colony-forming units of Bacillus Subtilis per day.Rate this question:

Mucopolysaccharides stimulates endogenous collagen type 1 synthesis
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Mucopolysaccharides stimulate the production of collagen type 1 within the body. Collagen type 1 is an important protein that provides structure and support to various tissues, including the skin, bones, and tendons. By promoting the synthesis of collagen type 1, mucopolysaccharides can help improve the strength and integrity of these tissues. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Mucopolysaccharides increases tendon thickness
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Mucopolysaccharides do not increase tendon thickness. Tendons are primarily composed of collagen fibers, and mucopolysaccharides are not directly involved in the structural integrity or thickness of tendons. Mucopolysaccharides are a type of complex carbohydrate that can be found in various tissues and fluids in the body, including the extracellular matrix. They play a role in lubrication, hydration, and support of tissues, but they do not have a direct impact on tendon thickness. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

Function of CFTR channels is
-
Secretion of water
-
Excretion of water
-
Absorption of water
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Secretion of waterExplanation
CFTR channels are responsible for the secretion of water. These channels are found in various tissues, including the epithelial cells lining the airways, intestines, and sweat glands. They play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. When CFTR channels are functioning properly, they allow the movement of chloride ions out of the cells, which in turn leads to the secretion of water. This helps in maintaining the hydration and proper functioning of various organs and systems in the body.Rate this question:

Gutgain decreases CFTR channels expression by
-
45%
-
39%
-
99%
-
49%
Correct Answer
A. 49%Explanation
Gutgain decreases CFTR channels expression by 49%. This means that Gutgain significantly reduces the expression of CFTR channels by nearly half. The decrease in CFTR channels expression suggests that Gutgain has a strong inhibitory effect on the production or activity of these channels. This reduction in CFTR channels expression may have important implications for various physiological processes that rely on the normal functioning of CFTR channels, such as ion transport and fluid balance regulation.Rate this question:

Gutgain increases NHE3 expression by
-
45%
-
89%
-
99%
-
49%
Correct Answer
A. 99%Explanation
Gutgain significantly increases NHE3 expression by 99%. This suggests that Gutgain has a very strong effect on the expression of NHE3, almost doubling its expression level. This increase in NHE3 expression could potentially have important physiological implications, as NHE3 is involved in the absorption of sodium and water in the gut. Therefore, Gutgain may play a crucial role in promoting efficient nutrient absorption and maintaining fluid balance in the body.Rate this question:
