Question

What causes hyposecretion of insulin that leads to coma ?

Answer 1

It can be caused by the destruction of hormone-secreting cells, such as in Type 1 diabetes, or by a deficiency in a nutrient that is important for hormone synthesis. Hyposecretion can be treated with hormone-replacement therapies.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Type 1 diabetes is caused by hyposecretion of insulin. Hypersecretion of growth hormones causes gigantism. Hormone-replacement therapy can be very beneficial to diabetics (insulin), those with severe allergies (epinephrine), and AIDS patients (steroids), among others.
