__(A)__ hormone regulater Carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism in our body. It is secreted by __(B)__ gland and __(C)__ in our diet impacts the functioning of this gland.

(A), (B), (C) respectively are :

  • A.Growth hormone, Pitutary, Proteins
  • B.Insulin, Pancreas, Sugar
  • C.Adrenaline, Adrenal, Salts
  • D.Thyroxine, Thyroid, Iodine

Answer: D

(A), (B), (C) are Thyroxine, Thyroid, Iodine.

Thyroxine, secreted by the thyroid gland, regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The thyroid needs iodine to make thyroxine, so a diet lacking iodine leads to goitre, a swelling of the gland.

Growth hormone mainly controls growth, insulin regulates blood sugar, and adrenaline prepares the body for emergencies; none matches all three blanks.
