Assertion (A): | Insulin causes hypoglycemia. |
Reason (R): | As a result of action of insulin especially on adipocytes and hepatocytes, there is a rapid movement of glucose from blood to these cells. |

I. Under normal physiological conditions, a decrease in the levels of thyroid hormones in the blood will lead to an increase in the secretion of TRH by Hypothalamus. II. Under normal physiological conditions, a decrease in the levels of thyroid hormones in the blood will lead to a decrease in the secretion of TSH by Anterior pituitary. |
