Match following hormones with respective disease

(a) Insulin (i) Addison's disease

(b) Thyroxin (ii) Diabetes insipidus

(c) Corticoids (iii) Acromegaly

(d) Growth Hormone (iv) Goiter

(v) Diabetes mellitus

Select correct option

a - v, b - i, c - ii, d - iii a - ii, b - iv, c - iii, d - i a - v, b - iv, c - i, d - iii a - ii, b - iv, c - i, d - iii

The correct answer is option 3.

Solution

Concept:

Endocrine glands are ductless glands in the body. They produce hormones.
Hormones act as chemical messengers and control the physiological function of the target organ.
Over secretion/under secretion of hormones can lead to the disease condition.

Explanation:

Let us look at some of the diseases associated with improper secretion of hormones:

Hormone	Associated disease condition
Insulin	It is secreted by the ß cells of the pancreas. It is a peptide hormone and plays an important role in glucose homeostasis. It reduces the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream (hypoglycemia). Under secretion of insulin causes prolonged hyperglycemia (increased blood glucose levels) in blood. This condition is called Diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus results in the loss of glucose in urine and sweat and the formation of harmful ketone bodies.
Thyroxine	It is secreted by the thyroid gland. Iodine is essential for a normal rate of synthesis of thyroid hormones. Lack of thyroxine can cause goiter. Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Corticoids	The adrenal cortex produces corticoids. They are useful in carbohydrate metabolism (glucocorticoid) and maintaining water and electrolyte balance in the body (mineralocorticoid). Under production of glucocorticoids affects carbohydrate metabolism causing acute weakness and fatigue. This condition is called Addison's s disease.
Growth Hormone	It is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Over secretion of growth hormone causes Acromegaly. Acromegaly is characterized by severe disfigurement (especially face). Acromegaly can lead to severe complications and even death if unchecked.

So, the correct answer is option 3.

Additional Information:

Diabetes insipidus:
- Under secretion of the anti-diuretic hormone causes excessive loss of water in the form of urine.
- It causes frequent urination and eventually dehydration.
