Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Certain cells in the testes, called Leydig cells, secrete testosterone in response to stimulation by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Testosterone secretion is not the result of sexual arousal, ACTH, or low cortisol.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Potentially serious adverse effects of INH include hepatotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy. Hepatotoxicity may be manifested by symptoms of hepatitis (e.g., anorexia, nausea, fatigue, malaise, jaundice) or elevated liver enzymes. Weight gain, fever, and arthralgia are not the most known adverse effects of isoniazid (INH).
