RMR and stress -
We compared models with vs. To rule out publication bias effects i. Variable effects and results remained quantitatively very similar and qualitatively unchanged. However, this variable had a negligible effect on the models, and we therefore excluded it from the final models.
Among the studies selected for inclusion in the analysis, the treatment effect size on metabolic rate MR was on average 1. There was a strong association between MR effect sizes and GC effect sizes Table 1 , Fig. It is further worth noting that the residual heterogeneity did not exceed the level expected by chance Table 1.
Meta regression model testing the association between metabolic rate MR effect sizes and glucocorticoid effect sizes. Area of dots is proportional to the experiment sample size i. square root of the number of individuals in which GCs were measured.
Furthermore, none of these variables had a significant effect on GC effect size, nor did the association between MR and GC effect sizes depend on those factors i. interactions between these variables and MR effect sizes were always non-significant; Table 2 , S4.
The latter result confirms prediction iii. Given that none of these effects significantly improved the model, the final model when removing all factors was the one including MR effect size as only predictor of GC effect size Table 1. Despite these modulators being non-significant, the associations were in the expected directions, with studies including within-individual variation i.

Full models are shown in Table S4. Finding a c onsistent functional interpretation of GC variation has proven challenging, and to this end we presented a simplified framework focusing on the interplay between energy metabolism and GCs Box 1. Based on this framework, we made three predictions that we tested through a meta-analysis of studies in endotherms in which metabolic rate was manipulated and GCs were measured at the same time.
The analysis confirmed our predictions, showing that experimental manipulations that increased metabolic rate induced a proportional increase in GCs Fig.
This association indicates that fluctuations in energy turnover are a key factor driving variation in GC levels. From this perspective, the many downstream effects of GCs e. Specifically, within-individual blood GC variation signals the metabolic rate at which the organism is functioning to all systems in the body.
In this light, downstream effects of GCs can be interpreted as evolved responses to metabolic rate fluctuations, reallocating resources in the face of shifting demands on the whole organism level. The effect of metabolic rate on GC levels was independent of the type of manipulation used to increase metabolic rate, confirming our third prediction.
Note however that confirmation of this prediction relied on the absence of a significant effect, and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. However, the residual heterogeneity of our final model did not deviate from a level expected due to sampling variance, providing additional support for our third prediction.
Secondly, when considering the facilitation of metabolic rate as primary driver of GC regulation, there does not appear a need to invoke different classes of GC-levels instead of the more parsimonious treatment as continuum.
This is not to say that this also applies to the functional consequences of GC-level variation: it is well known that receptor types differ in sensitivity to GCs Landys et al. We restricted the meta-analysis to experimental studies, and expect the association between MR and GCs to be less evident in a more natural context.
Associations between GCs and MR will be most evident when animals are maintained at different but stable levels of metabolic rate, because then the rate at which tissues are fuelled is likely to be in equilibrium with the metabolic needs.
While equilibrium conditions can be created in laboratory studies, conditions will usually be more variable in the wild. When metabolic rate fluctuates, e. Furthermore, experiments yield estimates of associations within the average individual in the study, while data collected in a natural context usually rely on variation between individuals but see Malkoc et al.
Associations between individuals will be less strong than associations within individuals due to individual variation in GC levels and GC reactivity e. Liu et al. The contrast between the findings may be due to the MR and GC data not always being collected on individuals in a comparable state.
We emphasize therefore the importance of measuring metabolic rate and GCs when animals are in the same state, preferably by measuring both variables at the same time.
GCs increased in the studies included in our meta-analysis in response to an induced increase in MR, but GCs can also increase in response to an anticipated increase in MR Box 1.
Likewise, GC levels increase in athletes preceding competition van Paridon et al , although separating effects of psychological stress from anticipated metabolic needs is difficult in this context. Experiments in which animals are trained to anticipate an increase in MR to investigate whether this generates an anticipatory increase in GCs would be an interesting additional test of the framework laid out in Box 1.
Secondly, the finding that the GC increase was proportional to the increase in MR can only be explained by psychological stress when the induced psychological stress was proportional to the induced MR.
Thirdly, the pattern is consistent with what is known of the functional consequences of GC variation in relation to metabolic needs Box 1. Lastly, diverse non-injurious psychological stressors increase metabolic rate in humans Sawai et al.
We conclude therefore that while a causal link between MR and GCs is not the only possible explanation of our findings, we argue it to be the most parsimonious explanation.
Direct manipulations of MR could confirm or reject this explanation, and may for example be achieved using thyroid hormones, which have been shown to affect MR Moreno et al. We selected studies in which experimental treatments affected MR, leading us to conclude that the most parsimonious explanation of our finding is that GC levels were causally related to MR.
Suppose however that instead we reported a correlation between MR and GCs, using for example unmanipulated individuals. The question would then be justified whether changes in GCs affected MR or vice versa.
Direct effects of GCs could be studied using pharmacological manipulations. However, while many studies show that GC administration induces a cascade of effects, when the function of GCs is to facilitate a level of MR, as opposed to regulate variation in MR, we do not anticipate such manipulations to induce an increase in MR Box 1.
On the other hand, when MR is experimentally increased in conjunction with pharmacological manipulations that supress the expected GC-increase an experiment that to our best knowledge has not yet been done , we would predict that the increase in MR can be maintained less well compared to the same MR treatment in the absence of the pharmaceutical manipulation.
This result, we would interpret to demonstrate that maintaining a particular level of MR may be dependent on GCs as facilitator, but it would be misleading to interpret this pattern to indicate that GCs regulate MR, as is sometimes proposed.
Additionally, it would be informative to investigate whether energy turnover immediately before blood sampling is a predictor of GC levels, as we would predict on the basis of the interpretation of our findings.
Increasing the use of devices and techniques that monitor energy expenditure or its proxies e. accelerometers may be a way to increase our understanding of the generality of the GC-MR association.
Authors that assumed GC levels to be a proxy of physiological stress have struggled with the interpretation of findings such as the mixed results with respect to fitness consequences of GC-variation. Our findings offer a way to interpret such variation: GCs are regulated with respect to their role in facilitating energy metabolism, and we encourage researchers to approach and interpret findings from this perspective.

What is hypothyroidism and how can you recognize it? Metabolic rate refers to the rate at which the body uses energy and burns calories. The body uses most of its energy this way. Metabolic rates vary widely between individuals, so it is not possible to specify a standard or high metabolic rate.
However, the higher the rate, the quicker a person will use the energy they take in from food, which may reduce the chance of weight gain.
It is not always possible for a person to change their metabolic rate, but exercise and dietary measures may help. A good metabolic rate may help with weight management. But for those seeking to lose weight, it is better to focus on eating a varied diet with plenty of whole foods and being physically active.
While some foods, such as spices, may help boost rates temporarily, they are not a long term solution. It is always best to speak with a doctor before adjusting the diet or making changes to an exercise routine.
