1. ANSWER: Decreases stress resistance.
Reason: Cortisol is a stress hormone which is secreted to increase the resistance towards stress. Its hypersecretion would increase the stress resistance further.
2. ANSWER: it triggers up the regulation.
REASON: Water soluble Hormone binds to the target cells on the plasma membrane amd activates it and it may send feedback to the original hormone producing organ.
3. ANSWER: high TSH.
Reason: Secondary hyperthyroidism is due to the defect seen in the thyroid gland. So there will be high TSH levels to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce hormones.
