Question

Select the mismatched pair from the following

• A. Glucagon - Glycogenolysis
• B. Prolactin - Milk production
• C. Insulin - Gluconeogenesis
• D. Oxytocin - Contraction of uterine muscles

Answer 1

The correct option is C Insulin - Gluconeogenesis

A. Glucagon - secreted by alphas cells of pancreas helps in maintaining the normal glucose level in the blood. It stimulates conversion of stored glycogen into glucose that is glycogenolysis.

B. Prolactin - secreted by pituitary gland helps in stimulating the production and secretion of milk.

C. Insulin - secreted by beta cells of pancreas helps in regulating the glucose homeostasis. It stimulates conversion of glucose into glycogen that is glycogenesis.

D. Oxytocin - secreted by pituitary gland helps in contracting uterine muscles during child birth.

So, the correct answer is 'insulin-gluconeogenesis'.
