Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

DHEA (Dehydroepiandroster one) is a steroid precursor that is converted to active steroids in the body's tissues. It does not bind strongly to the steroid receptors in the body. It is produced in the adrenal glands and gonads and is then converted to A'dione, and A'diol, and finally into active testosterone (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC164360/)

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
