Figure 3From: Effect of thyroid statuses on sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) gene expression in the extrathyroidal tissues in mice NIS mRNA regulation in different thyroid statuses in NIS scarce tissues. Quantitative comparison of NIS mRNA in different thyroid statuses was performed in the same way as in Figure 2B using extrathyroidal tissues including submandibular gland (A), colon (B), testis (C), and lung (D). Results are shown as mean ± SEM. * P < 0.05 compared with control (unpaired t-test). Control, C; hypothyroid, L; and hyperthyroid, H.Back to article page
