Figure 3

Body weight of rats in all groups. (a) and (b) After receiving PTU for 2 weeks, the body weight of all goitrous model rats was significantly decreased. Then, after drug treatment for 4 weeks, the body weight of PTU-induced goiter rats could be decreased by the administration of HYD-H and HYD-Y. P<0.05 and P<0.01 versus Con; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01 versus Mod; ΔP<0.05 and ΔΔPP<0.01 versus Eut; $P<0.05 and $$P<0.01 versus HYD-H, by one-way analysis of variance.
