Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Precocious puberty of central origin is treated with monthly subcutaneous injections of luteinizing hormonereleasing hormone. Thyrotropin, gonadotropins, and somatotropic hormone are not the appropriate therapies for precocious puberty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Excess GH after closure of the epiphyseal plates results in acromegaly. A lack of growth hormone results in delayed growth or even dwarfism. Gigantism occurs when there is hypersecretion of GH before the closure of the epiphyseal plates. Cretinism is associated with hypothyroidism.
