  1. aThe basic serum TSH and FT4 levels of the two groups were similar (P = 0.060, P = 0.287). bTSH levels in the L-treatment group were significantly different from the dietary treatment group data after the intervention (1.50 vs 1.86 mIU/L, P = 0.005). cFT4 levels in the L-treatment group were statistically higher than those in the dietary treatment group data after the intervention (5.86 vs 5.54 ng/L, P = 0.005)
