The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that growth hormone, thyroxine, and cortisol are called diabetogenic hormones. - Diabetogenic hormones are those that can increase blood glucose levels, contributing to the development of diabetes. 2. **Analyzing the Hormones**: - **Growth Hormone**: It can increase blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis and reducing glucose uptake in tissues. - **Cortisol**: This hormone is known to increase blood glucose levels and is indeed classified as a diabetogenic hormone. - **Thyroxine**: While it plays a role in metabolism, its classification as a diabetogenic hormone is less clear-cut. It can influence glucose metabolism but does not directly cause diabetes. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that hypersecretion of thyroxine produces diabetes mellitus. - This statement is misleading. Hypersecretion of thyroxine can lead to various metabolic disorders, but it does not directly cause diabetes mellitus. Instead, it can lead to a condition known as hyperthyroidism, which may have different metabolic effects. 4. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is partially true, as cortisol and growth hormone are indeed diabetogenic, but the classification of thyroxine as such is debatable. - The reason is false because hypersecretion of thyroxine does not directly cause diabetes mellitus. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true but the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ---
