Question

At menopause, there is increase in urinary secretion of
A) FSH
B) STH
C) MSH
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: In females, the secretion of hormones varies at different stages of life. Some hormones are at peak during ovulation, some during menarche and some during menopause. Menopause is the time period during which menstruation ceases. It usually occurs in the early $40s$- late $50s$.

Complete explanation
Option A FSH: The amount of estrogen in the blood drops throughout menopause. As a result, estrogen can no longer inhibit FSH or LH production. Thus, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is secreted more and eliminated in urine in large quantities.
So, option A is correct.
Option B STH: Somatotropic hormone (STH) is also known as Growth hormone. The main function of this hormone is to regulate growth and promote cell reproduction. This hormone has no relevance to menopause.
Option B is not correct.
Option C MSH: MSH or melanocyte stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and skin cells. It aids in the protection of the skin from UV radiation and development of pigments. MSH has no role in menopause.
Option C is not correct.
Option D none of these: Since, one of the options is correct. This option becomes nullified.
Option D is not correct.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Note:
FSH hormone plays an important role in female reproduction. This hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. FSH stimulates the Graafian follicles to develop a mature ovum. This hormone also stimulates the production of estrogen in females. The level of FSH is more during menopause.
