Growth hormone antagonizes the effect of insulin hormone.

Growth hormone antagonizes the effect of insulin hormone. Correct Answer True

Growth hormone is a diabetogenic hormone, antagonizing the effect of insulin hormone. GH hypersecretion can lead to hyperglycemia, low tolerance of sugar, and glycosuria. In fact, one of the sets of counter-regulatory hormones released in response to low blood sugar is the body’s native growth hormone, and many children treated with GH develop diabetes.

You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer.

It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.
