Chimney test and open field activity of adult and old mice of both sexes under eu-, hypo- or hyperthyroid conditions. The Chimney test was performed in adult (a) and old (b) male and female mice to assess muscle function, while the open field test was performed to assess the activity of mice by measuring the covered distance in adult (c) and old (d) age under TH excess, deprivation or euthyroid state. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 7–11 animals/sex/treatment, one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
