Answer: c. Glandular disorder theory

Hypothyroidism is an endocrine system disorder in, which the thyroid gland does not produce adequate amount of thyroid hormone, which is required by the body to function properly. Glandular disorder theory suggests the fact that hypothyroidism is responsible for the increase in weight and obesity. Treatment of thyroid hormone, does not cause a significant reduction in weight.
