Question

Which of the following hormones are the main regulators of the basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
A)glucagon
B)thyroid hormones
C)insulin
D)estrogen
E)progesterone

Accepted Answer

Thyroid hormones, specifically triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), are the main regulators of the basal metabolic rate (BMR). These hormones increase BMR by stimulating cellular respiration and heat production in the body. Glucagon and insulin regulate blood glucose levels, while estrogen and progesterone primarily regulate reproductive function.
