  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. n = 5. Parameters included: glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (T-Chol), triglycerides (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Crea), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroid hormones (T3, T4). No significant difference between the parameters compared to the control group
