the thyroid

parathormone

=]]

Answer 1

The  answer is Thyroid

Effect- Thyroid hormones (Thyroxine or T4 and T3) increase Basal metabolic rate (i.e. BMR).

- Estrogen and Testosterone are s*x hormones.

- Parathormone is related to mineralisation (Ca ++) of bones

- Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder due to excess secretion of Growth hormone after puberty or epiphyseal fusion.

Answer 2

The thyroid, I think, unless parathormone or acromegaly is a secretion of that related to metabolism of nutrients.  One of those would then be more directly related.
