Answer:

(D). oxytocin.

Explanation:

The hypothalamic-pituitary axis can be defined a pathway that plays a central role in regulation of various endocrine glands. Hormones released from hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland, which in turns secrete pituitary hormones to regulate release of hormones from other endocrine glands.  

Regulation of growth hormone (somatotropin), cortisol (adrenal hormone), prolactin, and T3 (thyroid hormone) is done by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, which is synthesized by hypothalamus and secreted by posterior pituitary gland. However, level of oxytocin is regulated by positive feedback in loop, in which hormone itself regulates its release and does not involves regulation by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Archy [21]

Answer: when glycogen is withdrawn from diet it is depleted from liver.

Explanation:

When the body gets excess diet in the form of carbohydrates, due to insulin relases the glucose molecules are linked together in a chain, producing longer units, called glycogen. Glycogen is then stored in liver muscles kidney and red blood celss before it is converted to fats.

Glycogen deficiency results in decreased blood sugar levels than normal, which causes glycogen to release by the liver and then break down into glucose. This complex mechanism, called glycogenolysis, helps balance blood sugar levels.The glycogen that is stored in our muscles is not depleted.In other words, once it’s stored in muscle, it’s not capable of being transported to other areas of the body to provide fuel. Hence, the liver stores are depleted first when glycogen is depleted.
