Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyposecretion of a tropic hormone is a cause of secondary hyposecretion, not primary hyposecretion. Primary hyposecretion is caused by a dysfunction of the endocrine gland itself, while secondary hyposecretion is caused by a dysfunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. Gene mutation, idiopathic factors, toxic substances, and iatrogenic factors can all potentially cause primary hyposecretion of a hormone.
