Solution
The correct option is A diabetes mellitus
The deficiency of insulin results in high levels of glucose in blood, called hyperglycemia. This is because insulin acts on hepatocytes and adipocytes and stimulates the uptake and utilisation of glucose by the cells. This disorder is called diabetes mellitus, and is associated with the loss of glucose through urine and the formation of harmful compounds known as ketone bodies.
Individuals having hyperthyroidsim show an enlargement of the thyroid gland, a protrusion of the eyeballs, an increased basal metabolic rate, and weight loss. This condition is called Graves’ disease.
Hypothyroidism during pregnancy causes defective development and maturation of the growing foetus, leading to stunted growth in the child. This condition is called cretinism.
