NUSCTX 10 MIDTERM 2 HELLERSTEIN
LECS EXAM Q&A
(True/False) Type 2 diabetes mellitus differs from Type 1 diabetes mellitus because
Type 2 has normal pancreatic beta cell function - Answer-False
Heterocyclic amine, a mutagen, is primarily found in:
A) Cooked meat
B) Sushi
C) Grains
D) Nuts
E) Raw vegetables - Answer-A) Cooked meat
Regarding the process of epithelial carcinogenesis:
(True/False) Is not typically accelerated by foods, which are natural products and
therefore unlikely to cause DNA damage. - Answer-False
During the third trimester of pregnancy, some women develop type 2 diabetes.
(gestational diabetes). This is important because,
A) Gestational diabetes never goes away but women remain diabetic after delivery
B) The hormones of pregnancy that are likely responsible (such as progesterone)
can easily be blocked during pregnancy, thereby preventing gestational diabetes and
representing a treatment option if the gestational diabetes is detected
C) Even though most women with gestational diabetes never go on to develop
chronic diabetes mellitus, there are potential effects on the fetus
D) Women with gestational diabetes are at risk for developing kidney disease and
retinopathy (eye disease) during the 3rd trimester period of a gestational diabetic
pregnancy
E) Gestational diabetes is highly predictive of subsequent development of permanent
diabetes, as the woman gets older and if she is overweight or gains weight - Answer-
E) Gestational diabetes is highly predictive of subsequent development of permanent
diabetes, as the woman gets older and if she is overweight or gains weight
Regarding the process of epithelial carcinogenesis:
(True/False) Has a strong epidemiologic inverse relationship with fruit and vegetable
intake. - Answer-True
What are two primary driving forces of carcinogenesis?
A) Nitrosamines and aflatoxin
B) Gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis
C) Glycolysis and beta-oxidation
D) Mutagenesis and mitogenesis
E) None of the above - Answer-D) Mutagenesis and mitogenesis
