Thyroid auto antibody levels and histology. (A) TPOAb level in rat serum, FDBP = 1.82 (p = 0.158), FTG = 1212.4(p = 0.000), FDBP*TG = 9.83 (p = 0.000). (B) TGAb level in rat serum, FDBP = 6.40 (p = 0.001), FTG = 90.31(p = 0.000), FDBP*TG = 7.15(p = 0.001). (C) H&E staining showing infiltration of inflammatory cells (red arrow) and focal derangement (blue arrow). N: normal conditions; S: slight changes; M: moderate changes; V: severe changes. Magnification = ×40. ##p < 0.01, compared with the TG group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, compared with the saline group; ##p < 0.01, compared with the TG group; &&p < 0.01, compared with the DBP50 + TG group.
