Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which there is a high blood glucose level due to insulin deficiency in the body.

Diabetes insipidus, on the other hand, is caused due to deficiency of vasopressin (ADH).

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) in the thyroid. Deficiency of iodine in the diet results in hypothyroidism and enlargement of the thyroid gland, called goitre.

The adrenal cortex secretes corticoid hormones. Deficiency of these hormones causes Addison's disease which affects mood, growth, metabolism, tissue function, and how the body responds to stress.

Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder in which the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone leading to increase in size of bones of hands, feet and face.
