Parameters	Control	Acute toxicity (2000 mg/kg)	Subacute toxicity (40 mg/kg)
			Control	Male	Control	Female
T3 (ng/dl)	46.2 ± 1.6	50.23 ± 1.3	42.3 ± 1.6	46.58 ± 1.4	47.3 ± 1.7	48.58 ± 0.9
T4 (µg/dl)	4.9 ± 1.2	5.63 ± 0.2	5.2 ± 1.6	5.1 ± 0.5	4.6 ± 0.5	4.07 ± 0.7
TSH (µIU/ml)	0.037 ± 0.32	0.01 ± 0.05	0.05 ± 0.01	0.06 ± 0.032	0.06 ± 0.01	0.083 ± 0.02

The data is represented as mean ± SEM with n = 5 for acute and n = 10 for subacute toxicity studies.
