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.
