Serum TH and TSH levels in WT mice after VILI. Serum T₃, TSH, T₄, and rT₃ concentrations in WT mice exposed to VILI (gray bars) compared with SB animals (black bars). Note that TSH levels were undetectable after VILI and were assigned a value equal to the sensitivity of the assay (10 mU/L, indicated by a dashed line) for statistical analysis. Values shown are mean ± SEM. Differences between groups are indicated: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. n = 8 animals per group.
