After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow.

In investigating the role of oxytocin as an antistress hormone, researchers sought to explore the relationship between childhood maltreatment, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and oxytocin levels. One study measured the level of oxytocin (pg/mL) in people who had and had not experienced childhood maltreatment and who did and did not have PTSD. The results, averaged over many subjects, are these:
Levels of oxytocin (pg/mL) in people who had and had not experienced childhood maltreatment and who did and did not have PTSD
PTSDNo PTSD
Childhood maltreatment983669
No childhood maltreatment388752


Did this study lend support to the idea that people with PTSD combat stress with higher levels of oxytocin?
◦ Yes, because childhood maltreatment and PTSD interact to create the greatest stress.
◦ Yes, because the people with the highest oxytocin levels were those who had PTSD, whether they had experienced childhood maltreatment or not.
◦ No, because subjects who had not experienced childhood maltreatment had lower oxytocin levels even if they had PTSD.
◦ No, because all the subjects who had PTSD had low oxytocin levels.

One way to reduce acid reflux is to lose two or three pounds. Most people lose weight in the belly area first when they increase exercise, meaning that heartburn can be reduced quickly by this method.

The Romans did not use numerals to indicate fractions but instead used words to indicate parts of a whole.

Did you know?

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Did you know?

People with high total cholesterol have about two times the risk for heart disease as people with ideal levels.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
