ΔCT mean values of DIO3, UCP1, DIO2, THRα, and THRβ gene expressions between control and intervention groups. There was a significant difference in ΔCT mean values of DIO3 between control and intervention group’s samples. Gene expression results were expressed as the fold change defined by 2−ΔΔct. The higher ΔCT values indicate lower gene expression. *P < 0.05 between control and intervention groups
