Match the following hormone with the disorder caused :
| Hormone | Disorder |
|---|---|
| (a) Insulin | 1. Cushing's syndrome |
| (b) Thyroxine | 2. Diabetes insipidus |
| (c) Glucocorticoids | 3. Acromegaly |
| (d) Growth hormone | 4. Goitre |
| 5. Diabetes Mellitus |
Codes (a), (b), (c), (d):
Answer: C
The matching is Insulin with Diabetes Mellitus (5), Thyroxine with Goitre (4), Glucocorticoids with Cushing's syndrome (1) and Growth hormone with Acromegaly (3), which is the code 5 4 1 3.
Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus. A thyroxine-related disorder of the gland shows as goitre. Excess glucocorticoid (cortisol) causes Cushing's syndrome, and excess growth hormone in adults causes acromegaly. Diabetes insipidus (2) belongs to the antidiuretic hormone, which is not in the list, so every code that places 2 against a hormone here is wrong.
