  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 7–11 animals/sex/treatment, two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 multiple comparison to start weight of each sex, p < 0.05, †† p < 0.01, †††† p < 0.001 for sex difference at respective thyroid status. F (3,84) = 16.07, p < 0.0001 for treatment effect in adult, F (3,96) = 6.705, p = 0.0004 for treatment effect in old mice. F (1,84) = 181.6, p < 0.0001 for sex effect in adult, F (1,96) = 48.68, p < 0.0001 for sex effect in old mice and F (3,84) = 7.122, p = 0.0003 for interaction in adult, F (3,96) = 2.078, p = 0.1082 for interaction in old mice
