| | Basal Metabolic Rate - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment and medications |
 | | Our metabolic rate is represented by the work we do, heat from body metabolism, and stored energy, such as in the form of fat. |
 | | The "basal metabolic rate" (BMR) is the metabolic rate determined at rest 12 to 14 hours after the last meal. |
 | | The metabolic rate is affected by recent food ingestion, muscle exertion, environmental temperature, height, weight, body surface area, age, sex, emotional state, body temperature, pregnancy, menstruation, level of thyroid hormones, and "stress" hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine). |
