A) Gastrin
B) Thyroxin
C) Estrogen
D) Prostaglandins
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Prostaglandins are a group of hormone like lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from unsaturated fatty acids (20 chain fatty acid) and have important functions in the animal body. It is a local hormone {i.e., autocrine or paracrine) because their target cells are in the close vicinity of the site of secretion, while the other mentioned in the options such as estrogen is primarily a steroid hormone, thyroxin is a thyrosine-based hormone and gastrin is a peptide hormone.You need to login to perform this action.
