Table 2 Descriptive statistics for the levels of TSH, FT ₄ and FT ₃ before radioiodine administration and at three months after radioiodine administration (Friedman ANOVA test), Group 2, n=20; SD – standard deviation; SEM – standard error of mean; p – level of significance

From: In contrast to matrix metalloproteinases, serum adiponectin concentrations increase after radioiodine treatment of thyrotoxicosis

	Mean	Med	Min	Max	SD	SEM	*p-value*
TSH [mIU/l]	0.122	0.027	0.004	0.877	0.230	0.060	*0.00012*
TSH [mIU/l]	1.74	0.82	0.03	7.89	2.27	0.59	*0.00012*
FT ₄ [pmol/l]	24.4	18.8	13.3	72.5	15.4	4.0	*0.014*
FT ₄ [pmol/l]	14.7	13.9	3.9	58.3	10.8	2.4	*0.014*
FT ₃ [pmol/l]	10.0	7.7	4.1	24.0	5.6	1.4	*0.016*
	6.1	5.1	2.2	25.8	4.8	1.1

Reference ranges: TSH - 0.4-4.0 mIU/l,
FT₄ - 11.5-22.7 pmol/l (1 pmol/l x 0.0777 = ng/dl),
FT₃ - 2.76-6.45 pmol/l (1 pmol/l x 0.6493 = pg/ml).
