Give example(s) of: (a) Hyperglycemic hormone and hypoglycemic hormone (b) Hypercalcemic hormone (c) Gonadotrophic hormones (d) Progestational hormone (e) Blood pressure lowering hormone (f) Androgens and estrogens
Hyperglycemic hormone: Glucagon; Hypoglycemic hormone: Insulin
Hypercalcemic hormone: Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Gonadotrophic hormones: LH (Luteinizing hormone) and FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone)
Progestational hormone: Progesterone
Blood pressure lowering hormone: Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)
Androgens: Testosterone; Estrogens: Estradiol
Explanation
This question tests knowledge of hormone classification based on their physiological effects. The context clearly identifies: (a) Glucagon raises blood sugar (hyperglycemic) while Insulin lowers it (hypoglycemic); (b) PTH increases blood calcium levels; (c) LH and FSH are gonadotrophins listed in the fill-in-the-blanks table; (d) Progesterone is explicitly stated as supporting pregnancy; (e) ANF is described as decreasing blood pressure when secreted by the atrial wall; (f) Testosterone and estradiol are listed as steroid hormones in the chemical classification of hormones.
