Question

Statement-I: Noradrenaline is one of the neurotransmitter. 

Statement-II: Low level of noradrenaline is not cause of depression in humans.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
• B. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are incorrect.
• C. Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
• D. Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this question, we need to evaluate each statement individually and then determine their correctness based on known scientific facts.

Statement-I: Noradrenaline is one of the neurotransmitters.

• Noradrenaline, also known as norepinephrine, is indeed a neurotransmitter. It is a chemical messenger that plays a vital role in the brain and body. It is involved in the fight or flight response and is crucial in regulating mood and arousal.
• Thus, Statement-I is correct.

Statement-II: Low level of noradrenaline is not a cause of depression in humans.

• Clinical studies and medical understanding acknowledge that an imbalance of neurotransmitters, including noradrenaline, can contribute to depression. Specifically, low levels of noradrenaline have been linked to depressive symptoms.
• Therefore, Statement-II is incorrect because low noradrenaline levels can indeed be associated with depression.

After analyzing both statements, we find:

• Statement-I is correct as noradrenaline is a verified neurotransmitter.
• Statement-II is incorrect because low levels of noradrenaline can contribute to depression.

Conclusion: The correct answer is: Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
