Hypothyroidism, increased plasma androgen concentrations, and decreased plasma glucagon concentration are associated with a decreased metabolic rate and can lead to weight gain and an anabolic state. Increased plasma insulin concentration is associated with an anabolic state as it promotes the uptake and storage of nutrients, including glucose and amino acids, by cells in the body.
