Question : Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?
Option 1: Cushing's syndrome - Cortisol
Option 2: Diabetes - Insulin
Option 3: Goitre - Thyroxin
Option 4: Acromegaly - Adrenaline
Correct Answer: Acromegaly - Adrenaline
Solution : The correct option is Acromegaly - Adrenaline.
Acromegaly is a disorder caused by the excessive production of growth hormone, usually from a benign tumour in the pituitary gland. It results in the enlargement of bones and tissues in the body, leading to characteristics such as enlarged hands, feet and facial features. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is not associated with acromegaly; it is a hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress or other stimuli, and it primarily affects the body's "fight or flight" response.
