| [A] Hypersecretion of growth hormone (somatotrophs hormone) during adulthood causes acromegaly. It is characterised by bossing of frontal bone, prominent cheek, coarse hair, hirsutism and enlarged hands and feet. Deficiency of thyroid hormone causes cretinism and goitre. Excess secretion of thyroid hormone responsibles for exophthalic goitre. The principal hormone made by the adrenal medulla is adrenaline (also called epinephrine). It was the first hormone to be isolated in crystalline form in 1901 and was first synthesized in 1904. This hormone is also called as emergency hormone. |
