Match List I with List II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

The correct answer is option 4. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.

A. Addison's Disease (List I) - II. Mineralocorticoids and Glucocorticoids (List II)

Addison's Disease is a condition where the adrenal glands don't produce enough hormones, particularly cortisol (a glucocorticoid) and aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid). Treatment for Addison's Disease typically involves replacing these deficient hormones with medications that contain both mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids.

B. Glucagon (List I) - IV. Increases glucose level in blood (List II)

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream. It does so by promoting glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen into glucose) in the liver and gluconeogenesis (the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources).

C. Progesterone (List I) - I. Prepare uterus for implantation of fertilized egg (List II)

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries during the second half of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. Its primary role is to prepare the uterine lining for the implantation of a fertilized egg and to maintain the pregnancy.

D. Hypothyroidism (List I) - III. Low level of iodine in diet (List II)

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. One of the potential causes of hypothyroidism is a deficiency of iodine in the diet. Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones, and without enough iodine, the thyroid gland cannot produce adequate amounts of these hormones.

Therefore, each match accurately pairs the disease/hormone with its corresponding treatment or cause/importance, making option 4 the correct choice.
