It’s time to fully review and put your learning to the test!

Below you’ll find a list of open-book, comprehensive, multiple-choice questions related to this module.

You will have 3 attempts to pass (the passing score is 80%).

If you make two unsuccessful attempts, make a note of the areas that are providing challenges for you, then reach out on an upcoming support call or use the Facebook group to find yourself a study partner.

If you are unsuccessful after your third attempt, please contact us for assistance.

#15: Sources of Heat Shock Proteins are;
#16: __________ is inactive.
#17: There are four main Cortisol Patterns.

#22: Cortisone can be reactivated to cortisol in liver and fat cells.
#23: With Cortisol Awakening Response it is best to collect on a day when sleep has been disturbed.
#24: CAR is Cortisol Awakening Response.
#25: CAR evaluates the Cortisol Pattern in what hour of the day?
#26: When collecting the sample for CAR it is important to ____________.
#27: Collection Timing for CAR is not important.
#28: Major depressive disorder, overactive HPA axis, anticipatory stress for the day, glycemic dysregulation and pain upon awakening are causes of ___________.
#29: HPA axis health is correlated with the magnitude of the morning cortisol increase.
#30: When interpreting CAR, ___________ blocks deactivation of cortisol to cortisone.
#31: Low Cortisol Awakening Response may be caused by all except:
#32: Thyroid directly impacts cortisol clearance.
#33: The following sex hormone conditions can be explored with DUTCH.
#34: The primary role of progesterone is to balance the strong effects of estrogen.
#35: When evaluating estrogen levels, it is important to assess ____________.
#36: The ________ phase I pathway is considered the safest because of anti-cancer properties of its metabolites.
#37: The _______ phase I pathway is considered the most genotoxic as its metabolites can create reactive products that damage DNA.
#38: Bone loss is a low estrogen symptom.
#39: Low methylation can be caused by low levels of nutrients needed for methylation and/or genetic abnormalities.
#40: ________ are genetic abnormalities that cause low methylation.
#41: The COMT enzyme responsible for methylation requires _______________.
#42: These deficiencies can cause low levels of methyl donors.
#43: Regarding Phase II Metabolism, MTHFR genetic defects can make it more difficult for patients to make sufficient methyl donors.
#44: When evaluating androgen levels, it is important to assess the status of __________.
#45: DHEA significantly increases with age.
#46: Females make most of their DHEA in the adrenal gland.
#47: A female with higher levels of DHEA and testosterone will often have high androgen symptoms.
#48: Women with high androgens may develop facial hair and thinning scalp hair.
#49: Organic acid markers can be explored with DUTCH test.
#50: Organic acid functional marker of vitamin B12 status
#51: Organic acid functional marker of vitamin b6
#52: Organic acid functional marker of glutathione deficiency
#53: Primary metabolite of dopamine
#54: Primary metabolite of norepinephrine and epinephrine
#55: Fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, muscle weakness, unsteady gait, numbness, tingling, depression, migraines and low blood pressure.
#56: Methylmalonic acid increases with low levels of cellular B12.
#57: Required by the liver for tryptophan conversion to NAD.
#58: High estrogen or cortisol may increase the need for B6.
#59: Kynurenic acid is created when B6 is deficient.
#60: Which is true?
#61: If the body cannot convert pyroglutamate forward, it will show up elevated in the urine.
#62: _____________ is a marker for glutathione deficiency.
#63: Causes of elevated Homovanillate are:
#64: In the presence of elevated HVA, patients may experience which of these symptoms?
#65: Sinemet, Levodopa, Wellbutrin, and Caffeine elevate HVA.
#66: COMT and MAO are needed to make VMA from norepinephrine.
#67: Addictions, cravings, low blood pressure, low muscle tone, intolerance to exercise, loss of alertness
#68: Aggression, violence, impatience, paranoia, high blood pressure, and heart palpitations
#69: When VMA is low, assess for symptoms of low Norepinephrine and Epinephrine.
#70: When VMA is high, assess for symptoms of excess Norepinephrine and Epinephrine.
#71: Medications do not affect HVA.
#72: If Homovanillate and Vanilmandelate are extremely high, it may be necessary to rule out a neuroblastic tumor.
