Propylthiouracil is an additive that reversibly abolishes thyroid function and the thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy.
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.
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.
Propylthiouracil is a drug given to patients with goiter to decrease or slow down basal metabolic rate.

The metabolic rate does change with the development of an animal from a zygote to adult because of the development of the organs. As growth occurs the organs fully develop.
Water flea is poikilothermic, which means that its body temperature and metabolic rate are afffected by the temperature in the environment. The change in metabolic is then reflected in the heartbeat rate

The rate of Metabolism, or metabolic rate.
the liver has a higher metabolic rate
Elevating your heart rate increases your basal metabolic rate in an individual.
Core Metabolic Rate is the specified metabolic rate particular to and occurring within that one individual. Core Metabolic Rate represents the rate of core metabolism, the broad spectrum of physiologic activities occurring within that one individual. In personalized health, core metabolic rate represents a key metric in delineating the inner health and physiologic dynamics of an individual.
The major factor that determines the metabolic rate is the amount of lean body tissue. A feature of the basal metabolic rate is pregnancy increases the BMR.
