Consequences of a decision:

Agroup of 50 adult male humans were in a clinical study to determine how much niacin is toxic. during the first two weeks of the study, members of the group consumed only a formula diet that was nutritionally complete, except it contained 24 mg niacin, which is 1.5 times the rda for niacin (males). at that point in the study, all members reported feeling fine. during the next week, they were given a formula that contained 48 mg niacin. within a few days of consuming this formula, 90% of the participants reported feeling ill, and they complained of having upset stomachs and reddened facial skin. at that point, researchers gave the subjects a formula that contain 16 mg niacin. after a week of consuming the new formula, all participants reported feeling well again. based on this information, the researchers concluded that the amdr for niacin is between 16 and 24 mg/day. ul for niacin was between 24 and 48 mg/day. human requirement for niacin is 16 mg/day. eer for niacin was 16 mg/day.

Which of the following best reflects what we know about how the flu virus moves between species? a) the flu virus in a pig is mutated and replicated in alternate arrangements so that humans who eat the pig products can be infected.b) a flu virus from a human epidemic or pandemic infects birds; the birds replicate the virus differently and then pass it back to humans.c) an influenza virus gains new sequences of dna from another virus, such as a herpesvirus; this enables it to be transmitted to a human host.d) an animal such as a pig is infected with more than one virus, genetic recombination occurs, the new virus mutates, the virus is passed to a new species such as a bird, and the virus mutates again and can now be transmitted to humans.
