Match the following columns and select the correct option:
| Column I | Column II |
| (a) Pituitary hormone | (i) Steriod |
| (b) Epinephrine | (ii) Neuropeptides |
| (c) Endorphins | (iii) Peptide, proteins |
| (d) Cortisol | (iv) Biogenic amines |
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
Hormones can be classified based on their biochemical nature as follows:
Steroids – These types of hormones are composed of cholesterol. Cortisol is a steroid.
Neuropeptides – Neuropeptides comprise small chains of amino acids which are released by the brain. Endorphins are an example of this type of hormone.
Peptides, proteins – They consist of two or more Amino acids. Pituitary hormones come under this category.
Biogenic amines – Biogenic hormones consists of amine groups. Epinephrine is one such example.
