The Normal rat had the fastest BMR. 2 Why did the metabolic rates differ between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats? How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___ The BMRs differed because the surgically altered rats were missing either the Pituitary or Thryoid gland that release thyroid hormones. 3 If an animal has been thyroidectomized‚ what hormone(s) would be
