Question

Which hormone is responsible for regulating the normal basal metabolism?

Answer 1

Normal basal metabolism:

1. It is also known as basal metabolic rate.
2. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy (in the form of calories) required by your body at rest to sustain regular physiological processes.
3. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a calculation that determines how many calories a person requires to maintain fundamental life functions during a 24-hour period of rest.
4. Breathing, circulation, digestion, and nutrient absorption are examples of such functions.
5. T₃ (triiodothyronine) and T₄ (thyroxine) are thyroid hormones that regulate the body's basal metabolic rate in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) generated by the anterior pituitary.
