Choose the correct one :

• A. Hypersecretion of thyroxine –Acromegaly
• B. Hypersecretion of thyroxine – Cretinism
• C. Hyposecretion of glucocorticoid – Addison’s disease
• D. Hyposecretion of aldosterone – Conn’s disease

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hyposecretion of glucocorticoid – Addison’s disease

Excess secretion of growth hormone in adults especially in middle age can result in severe disfigurement (especially of the face) called Acromegaly.
Hyposecretion of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol leads to a disorder called Addison's disease.
Hyposecretion of thyroid hormone results in cretinism.
Hypersecretion of thyroid hormone results hyperthyroidism.
Conn's disease is caused by overproduction of aldosterone hormone.

So, the correct answer is- Hyposecretion of glucocorticoid – Addison’s disease.
