    Cushing’s syndrome — Cortisol: Correct. Cushing’s syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
    Diabetes — Insulin: Correct. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce enough insulin or use it effectively.
    Goitre — Thyroxin: Correct. Goitre is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, often due to a deficiency or excess of thyroxin (thyroid hormone).
