Answer to Question 1
2
Rationale 1: Progesterone promotes breast development and regulates the monthly changes in the uterus.
Rationale 2: Estrogen is responsible for the maturation of the reproductive organs and for the appearance of the secondary sex characteristics in women. Estrogen also has numerous metabolic effects on nonreproductive tissues, including the brain, kidneys, blood vessels, and skin. For example, estrogen helps to maintain low blood cholesterol levels and facilitates calcium uptake by bones to help maintain proper bone density.
Rationale 3: Testosterone secretion is constant in women.
Rationale 4: Androgen is a male sex hormone.

Answer to Question 2
1, 2
Rationale 1: Acarbose (Precose) is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.
Rationale 2: Miglitol (Glyset) is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.
Rationale 3: Metformin (Glucophage) is a biguanide.
Rationale 4: Exenatide (Byetta) is an incretin enhancer.
Rationale 5: Nateglinide (Starlix) is a meglitinide.
Global Rationale: Acarbone (Precose) and miglitol (Glyset) are both alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Metformin (Glucophage) is a biguanide. Exenatide (Byetta) is an incretin enhancer. Nateglinide (Starlix) is a meglitinide.
