Metabolism and weight You might think a medical condition is a cause of slow metabolism and weight gain. But medical conditions rarely slow metabolism enough to cause a lot of weight gain. Conditions that can cause weight gain include Cushing syndrome or having an underactive thyroid gland, also called hypothyroidism. These conditions are uncommon.
A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports the long-term weight change follow-up of volunteers who participated in studies of dietary fatty acid metabolism conducted at Mayo Clinic between 1997 and 2012. In these studies, volunteers with stable weight and without obesity were administered 14 C- or 3 H-triolein during a meal to determine the relative proportions ...
Hyperthyroidism speeds up the body's metabolism. That can cause many symptoms, such as weight loss, hand tremors, and rapid or irregular heartbeat.

Inherited metabolic disorders are caused by changes in specific genes that affect metabolism. Different gene changes cause different types of inherited metabolic disorders.
