Table 1. Thyroid Hormones Levels, Body Weight (BW) Gain and Adrenal Glands Relative Weight in Euthyroid and Hypothyroid Animals.

	Plasma T3 (ng/ml)	Plasma T4 (ng/ml)	BW gain (g)	Adrenal glands relative weight (g/100 g BW)
Euthyroid rats	0.61±0.05	25.78±1.78	126.8±5.4	0.126±0.012
Hypothyroid rats	0.16±0.02***	1.50±0.17***	26.8±4.7***	0.143±0.011^NS

The relative adrenal glands weight refers to absolute adrenal glands weight/100 g BW. Data represent mean values ± SEM. Significant differences as compared to the euthyroid group are shown as *** p<0.001. NS, no significant. For TH levels and BW gain, n = 30 for E rats and n = 31 for H rats. For adrenal glands relative weight, n = 7 for each E and H groups.
