Answer:

Hypersecretion of growth hormone is caused by a disease called acromegaly. The most common symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the face and hand, joint pains, heart failure and hypertension.

Explanation:

Acromegaly is a chronic disease in adults that results from the hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary gland. Generally, acromegaly is caused by excessive production of GH due to a benign tumor (i.e., due to a pituitary adenoma). The mean age of diagnosis for acromegaly is 40 years in males and 45 years in females. Clinical symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the hands and feet, heart failure, respiratory problems, hypertension, joint pains, diabetes mellitus, vision problems, headaches, etc.

The myth that eating late at night is popular because it is widespread, this makes people believe it. With influences such as Oprah herself advising against late night snacks, we're influenced. The myth is false because overall a calorie is a calorie. People believe that we don't lose or burn calories as we sleep, but this is false. We do lose calories.

Responsible actions to take whilst eating late at night is to avoid it, or best eat a calorie-controlled snack. Research has shown that late-night eaters tend to make poor food choices and aim for the yummy (but unhealthy) stuff.

Hope this helped!

Which part of the globe will receive the same amount of sunlight year around?
harina [27]

Answer:

Earth's axis always points in the same direction. Because of this, the part of Earth that receives the most direct rays from the Sun changes as the Earth travels around the Sun. At the equinox, the Sun's rays shine most directly on the equator, and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres get the same amount of Sunlight.
