Question

hypersecretion of which hormone causes acromegaly​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gigantism and acromegaly are usually caused by a pituitary adenoma that secretes excessive amounts of growth hormone (GH); rarely, they are caused by non-pituitary tumors that secrete growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH). Gigantism occurs if GH hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses.

Answer 2

In approximately 50 percent of people with acromegaly, excessive levels of growth hormone (GH) secreted by the pituitary gland may influence the production of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels by promoting the movement of glucose into cells in the body.
