Hypophysectomized rats do not have the thyroxine with which to regulate metabolic rate properly. Thyroxine replacement can allow for the normalization of the metabolic rate (as it does in humans with hypothyroidism!).

What pituitary hormone necessary to govern metabolism?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a pituitary hormone that controls metabolism by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, which regulate the body's metabolic rate.


What is TRH's role in the endocrine system?

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland. TSH then acts on the thyroid gland to stimulate the production and release of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and energy balance in the body.
