Thyroid hormones correlate with Basal metabolic rate but not field metabolic rate in a wild bird species.
International audience Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to stimulate in vitro oxygen consumption of tissues in mammals and birds. Hence, in many laboratory studies a positive relationship between TH concentrations and basal metabolic rate (BMR) has been demonstrated whereas evidence from species in t...

International audience Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to stimulate in vitro oxygen consumption of tissues in mammals and birds.
