What our notes say

• Which of the following is an effect of thyroid hormone?A) Decrease basal metabolic rate (Endocrine and Metabolic Pathology MCQs: Practice Questions)
• Which of the following is NOT a function of the thyroid hormone?A) Increases basal metabolic rate (Endocrine and Metabolic Pathology MCQs: Practice Questions)
• Basal metabolic rate rises about 15–20%; calorie needs rise about 300 kcal a day in the second and third trimester. (Physiological changes in pregnancy)
• Thyroid hormones (especially T3): Increase mitochondrial biogenesis, UCP1 expression, and basal metabolic rate. (CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY LAQs & SAQs)
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR): Thyroid hormones increase mitochondrial activity and oxygen consumption, leading to an increase in BMR. (Thyroid Hormone)
