Correct Answer: Option A - The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1923 was awarded jointly to Frederick Grant Banting and John James Rickard Macleod "for the discovery of insulin.". Insulin was discovered in 1921 by Banting and West. It is secreted by the -cell of the pancreatic ‘Islets of Langerhans’. Diabetes is caused by low secretion of insulin. The over secretion of insulin leads to a disease called hypoglycemia, which reduces fertility and vision.
