Data are given as Mean±SE for five animals.

^a Significantly higher than control animals (P<0.05).

^b Significantly higher than methimazoletreated animals (P<0.05).

^c Significantly lower than methimazoletreated animals (P<0.05).

^dSignificantly lower than methimazoletreated animals which were depleted of glutathione (P<0.05).
