Correct Answer: 1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: The anterior pituitary's metabolic rate is not stimulated by thyroid hormones.
Rationale 2: The lung's metabolic rate is not stimulated by thyroid hormones.
Rationale 3: The brain's metabolic rate is not stimulated by thyroid hormones.
Rationale 4: The kidney's metabolic rate is stimulated by thyroid hormones.
Rationale 5: The testes' metabolic rate is not stimulated by thyroid hormones.
Global Rationale: Thyroid hormone stimulates the basal metabolic rate of all tissues except the brain, anterior pituitary, spleen, lymph nodes, testes, and lungs. The kidney's metabolic rate is stimulated by thyroid hormones.
