Solution

The correct option is C Erythropoietin
Erythropoiesis is the process, which produces red blood cells. It is stimulated by decreased oxygen in circulation, which is detected by kidneys which then secretes the hormone erythopoietin. This hormone stimulates proliferation and differentiation of the red blood cell precursors. When there is anemia, there is low oxygen tension in the body. Because of this, there is a rise in the cell count due to liberation of erythropoietin.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Erythropoietin'.

In the experiment in human liver cells. Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) enzyme catalyzes an important step in the metabolism of amino acids which is produced in liver cells. The production of AAT is dependent upon various hormonal stimuli. Human liver cells were cultured; half the cultured cells were used to measure the amount of AAT mRNA present, and half were used to measure the amount of AAT present. Measurements were taken at five-minute intervals following hormonal stimulation of the cells. Figure 1 shows the results of this experiment. This experiment was repeated by the addition of an inhibitor of protein synthesis along with the hormone and its result is shown in figure 2. The figure 2 shows that the AAT is a/an
