उत्तर
Excess secretion of growth hormone causes gigantism.
Explanation:
Gigantism is caused by the excess secretion (hypersecretion) of growth hormone from the pituitary gland during childhood. It leads to abnormal and excessive growth, making a person unusually tall with elongated bones.
If this excess secretion occurs later in adulthood (after the bone plates have fused), it causes a related condition called acromegaly, characterized by enlarged hands, feet, and facial bones.
