Effects of MOK pharmacopuncture on the changes of serological parameters in LT4-induced hyperthyroidism rats. MOK pharmacopuncture was subcutaneously administration once daily for 2 weeks, and measured the levels of GOT (a), GPT (b), glucose (c), triglyceride (d), total-cholesterol (e), and LDL-cholesterol (f) in the sera of rats by automatic blood biochemical analyzer. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5 per each group). ^* P < 0.05, ^** P < 0.01 and ^*** P < 0.001 vs normal (a) or control (b). Normal, normal group; Control, LT4-induced hyperthyroidism group; MOK 0.3, MOK 0.3 mg/kg-treated group in control; MOK 3, MOK 3 mg/kg-treated group in control; and PTU, PTU 10 mg/kg-treated group as a reference drug
