Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martha is most likely lacking testosterone, as fatigue, reduced bone density, and decreased libido are symptoms of low testosterone levels. Orexin is a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep and circadian rhythms, and ibuprofen is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory drug. None of these hormones/drugs are directly related to the symptoms that Martha is experiencing.
