Question

The main disorder associated with pancreatic hormones is ________.
A) diabetes mellitus
B) diabetes insipidus
C) hypothyroidism
D) hyperthyroidism

Accepted Answer

Diabetes mellitus is the main disorder associated with pancreatic hormones, specifically with the hormone insulin which is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. In diabetes mellitus, there is a deficiency in insulin secretion or action leading to elevated levels of glucose in the blood. Diabetes insipidus is a disorder of the pituitary gland and has no relation to the pancreas. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are disorders of the thyroid gland and do not involve pancreatic hormones.
