#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. adding methyl groups to adenines and cytosines
  2. using DNA ligase to seal the bacterial DNA into a closed circle
  3. adding histones to protect the double-stranded DNA
  4. forming ʺsticky endsʺ of bacterial DNA to prevent the enzyme from attaching

An elderly patient complains of muscle weakness and lethargy. A urine specimen reveals a Na+ concentration of 600 mmol/L and an osmolarity of 1200 mOsm/L. Additional laboratory tests provide the following information: plasma Na+ concentration = 167 mmol/L, plasma renin activity = 4 ng angiotensin I/ml/hr (normal = 1), plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) = 60 pg/ml (normal = 3 pg/ml), and plasma aldosterone = 15 ng/dL (normal = 6 ng/dL). Which of the following is the most likely reason for this patient’s hypernatremia?
