Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acromegaly is caused by excessive growth hormone secretion after the epiphyseal plates have closed, leading to enlargement of bones and soft tissues. Diabetes insipidus is caused by decreased production or response to antidiuretic hormone (ADH), resulting in excessive urination and thirst. Diabetes mellitus is caused by decreased insulin production or response, leading to elevated blood glucose. Dwarfism is typically caused by insufficient growth hormone, not excessive cortisol production.
