Figure 2From: In contrast to matrix metalloproteinases, serum adiponectin concentrations increase after radioiodine treatment of thyrotoxicosis Mean MMP-2/TIMP2 ratio and standard deviations in subjects treated with radioactive iodine, i.e., before radioiodine therapy (RIT), visit 1 (V1), seven days post RIT, visit 2 (V2), and two-three months post RIT, visit 3 (V3). Statistical significance is marked by “*” (V1 vs V2, p<0.05), and by “**” (V1 vs V3, p<0.01).Back to article page
