Question

Identify the correct statements regarding hormones.

• A. I, III
• B. III, IV
• C. I, II
• D. II, IV

Hint:

When studying hormones, pay special attention to their sources and effects to avoid confusion, especially when hormones have similar names or functions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Examining each statement. 
Statement I is incorrect. Addison's disease leads to the underproduction of cortisol and aldosterone, causing symptoms such as low blood pressure and weight loss, not directly glycosuria or ketone body formation. 
Statement II is correct. Hydrocortisone (cortisol) and glucagon both stimulate gluconeogenesis, increasing blood glucose levels. 
Statement III is incorrect. Somatotropin (growth hormone) and somatostatin are secreted from the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus respectively, and they have antagonistic effects, but somatotropin is not released from the hypothalamus. 
Statement IV is correct. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone that helps regulate the body's retention of water.
