Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Herbal therapies can produce unexpected adverse effects and toxic reactions, can interact with prescription drugs, and can contain various unknown ingredients that alter the therapies' effectiveness and toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Feedback:
The hypothalamic hormones are not all available for pharmacological purposes. Those available are used mostly for diagnostic testing, for treating some forms of cancer, or as adjunctive therapies in fertility programs. They would not be used to prevent aging or for the synthesis of growth factor.
