Also the significant differences in T3 levels PË‚0.05 betweenG24.01±`0.4 than G3 0.98±0.002,also we found significant differences in the T4 levels PË‚0.05 between G2 140±30 compared G3 120±22, . Also we found no significant change in T3 levels P>0.05 between G1 3.50±`1.1than G2 4.01±`0.4, also we found no significant changes in T4 levels P>0.05 in G1 135±24compared G2.
