Direction for Q28-Q30 - Read the passage carefully then answer the questions.
A new US study has warned that adolescents who take performance enhancing anabolic steroids are
more likely to have adverse neural and behavioral consequences, like aggression and moodiness
because of the steroids affect on the underdeveloped brain and the nervous system. The study, by
Northeastern University in the US, centered around a brain chemical called serotonin, which is linked to
mood. Lower levels of serotonin are associated with depression and aggression. For the study,
experiments were carried out on a strain of Syrian hamsters. This breed has similar neurological circuitry
to human, so experts felt it might be a good model for humans in this respect. The hamsters were given
a high dose of anabolic steroids over the course of a month-which corresponded to five years, repeated
dosage in humans. The researchers found that the hamsters were more aggressive than those not given
steroids and these aggressive tendencies were mellowed if Prozac- a drug which boost serotonin
“uptake “ – was given. However, subsequent analysis showed significantly lower than normal serotonin
levels in the neural connections of the hamster’s brains. This suggests there may be a longer term effect
of taking steroids while the brain is still developing. Professor Richard Melloni, who helped run the
study, we quoted as saying BBC: “We know testosterone or steroids affect the development of serotonin
nerve cells, which in turn, decreases serotonin availability in the brain. The serotonin neural system is
developing during adolescence and the use of anabolic steroids during this critical period appears to
have immediate neural and behavioural consequences.”
Q28. Why do adolescents develop neural disorders?
a) The effect of steroids hampers the growth of the brain.
b) Prozac, if taken in excess by adolescents, makes them aggressive.
c) Due to decrease in the level of serotonin in the blood.
d) None of these
Q29. The passage could be best described as
a) Curative b) Scientific c) Instructive d) Suggestive
Q30. Upon which breed of mammals were the experiments carried out?
a) Sicilian gangsters b) Italian hamsters c) Syrian hamsters d) None of these
