Invariably, the basal metabolic rate falls to 40% as soon as thyroid function is reduced. |
|
When the thyroid gland does not carry out its function, the basal metabolic rate is reduced by about 40%. |
|
Since there is no thyroid function, the basal metabolic rate has dropped to a level of 40%. |
|
The reduction of the basal metabolic rate to a level of 40% is inevitable only if the thyroid ceases to function. |
|
A 40% reduction of the basal metabolic rate occurs when the thyroid's function is compromised. |
