Figure 2. Free T4 and free T3 levels of Ansell's mole-rats (n = 24), rats (n = 4) and guinea pigs (n = 4).

Figure 2

Mean ± SD; all data expressed in pg/ml. One-way ANOVA, fT4: F = 206.38, p<0.0001; fT3: F = 0.85, p = 0.44. Significant differences in the Bonferroni post hoc comparisons are indicated by asterisks coupled with the comparison species referred to (mr  =  mole-rat, r =  rat, gp  =  guinea pig) in parenthesis. See “Results” section for statistical details and Table 3 for TH ratios obtained from these data. Mole-rat fT4 data refer to scenario 1; applying the second scenario (not depicted here) created essentially the same result because mean fT4 values of mole-rats were slightly lower.
