Which one of the following pairs correctly matches a hormone with a disease resulting from its deficiency
A
Luteinising hormone ??Failure of ovulation
B
Insulin ??Diabetes insipidus
C
Thyroxine ??Tetany
D
Parathyroid hormone ??Diabetes mellitus
Answer
Luteinising hormone ??Failure of ovulation
Explanation
Solution
Ovulation occurs under the influence of luteinizing hormone and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of anterior pituitary gland. Thus, deficiency of lutenaizing hormone results in failure of ovulation. Diabetes mellitus, tetany and diabetes insipidus occur due to deficiency of insulin (secreted from pancreas), parathormone (secreted by parathyroid gland) and vasopressin (ADH) of posterior pituitary respectively.
