Due to the deficiency of _ hormone, synthesis of glycogen gets depressed, glucose level increases in blood and leads to a condition called Diabetes mellitus.
Correct answer: D. Insulin
- A. Oxytocin
- B. Parathormone
- C. Glucagon
- D. Insulin
- E. Cortisol
Explanation
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood due to the inability of the body to produce or respond to the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and is responsible for glucose uptake from the blood into the cells, where it can be used as energy or stored as glycogen. When insulin is deficient, as in the case of diabetes, glycogen synthesis gets depressed, and glucose levels increase in the blood.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
