Why does propylthiouracil change the metabolic rate seen in a thyroidectomized rat?
Propylthiouracil is an additive that reversibly abolishes thyroid function and the thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy.
If propylthiouracil was injected what change in metabolic rate would you see in a thyroidectomized rat?
The weight in grams of the Thyroidectomized rat seemed to decrease when injected with propylthiouracil. Injected with tyroxine caused an increase in grams and ml of O2 levels do to the fact that tyroxine (a hormone from tyroid gland) increase the basal metabolic rate. ATT; Veronica V.

What is the effects of tsh injection on normal rat?
Propylthiouracil is a drug given to patients with goiter to decrease or slow down basal metabolic rate.
What affect basal metabolic rate?
ventricles
Which affect on metabolic rate can be controlled?
muscle size
If propylthiouracil was injected what change in metabolic rate would you see in a hypophysectomized rat?
Purely guessing here, I'd assume a slowdown in overall metabolic rate. You've excised the pituitary gland, and adminsitered a thryoid antagonist. Unless there's some weird sympathetic reaction, a slowdown seems emminent.
What can influence a person's metabolic rate?
Gender, age, and body shapes/sizes can affect a person's metabolic rate. ***Apex: All of the above
