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.

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.
