subjects were used in order to look for significant metabolic changes when the test subjects were exposed to different drugs and physiological changes. In this test‚ three different rats were used to see the different metabolic rates when exposed to different drugs and hormones on a normal‚ healthy rat‚ a rat with no thyroid‚ and a rat with no hypophysis. The significance of this experiment is to show the difference in metabolism and metabolic rate in healthy individuals‚ subjects‚ and individuals
