Thyroid Gland
The thyroid gland controls the metabolic rate.
the hypothalamus located on the brainstem controls metabolic rate by directly secreting hormones and indirectly managing other hormone production by glands of the endocrine system such as thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland would likely be malfunctioning if a person has a high metabolic rate. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, so an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can result in symptoms of increased metabolism such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and sweating.
