Question

John tried to match the hormones with the disorders caused due to their hyposecretion. He tabulated the pairs as follows:

Hormones	Disorders caused due to hyposecretion
P	Diabetes mellitus
Q	Diabetes insipidus

Identify the correct pairs of hormones.

Options

• P - Insulin, Q - Vasopressin

• P - Prolactin, Q - Insulin

• P - Insulin, Q - Glucagon

• P - Thyroxine, Q - Adrenaline

Answer 1

P - Insulin, Q - Vasopressin

Explanation:

Insulin hyposecretion causes diabetes mellitus because the body cannot properly regulate blood glucose levels.

Hyposecretion of vasopressin (ADH) causes diabetes insipidus, leading to excessive urination and increased thirst.

Hence, P = Insulin and Q = Vasopressin.
