Figures & data

Figure 1 Hormonal status of FT3, FT4, and TSH in patients of both the groups (control and experimental).

Notes: Only in the control group, a slight significant increase in FT3 was noticed after 21 days of the diet regimen. Open bars indicate the patients at the beginning of experimental time, while the solid bars indicate values of patients after 21 days of the diet. *Significance of differences was set at P<0.05.
Abbreviations: FT3, free triiodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone.

Figure 2 Patients following a normal diet, not deprived of carbohydrates, show significant variations of bioimpedance values (%) of lean mass, BMI, and body weight.

Note: **Significance of differences was set at P<0.01.
Abbreviation: BMI, body mass index.

Figure 3 The value of autoantibodies in patients following a normal diet.

Notes: The anti-thyroglobulin Ab and anti-thyroperoxidase or anti-microsomal Ab levels of TPO Ab showed a significant difference. Open bars indicate the patients at the beginning of experimental time, while the solid bars indicate values of patients after 21 days of the diet. *Significance of differences was set at P<0.05.
Abbreviations: Ab, antibody; TPO, thyroperoxidase.

Figure 4 The value of autoantibodies in patients following a low-carbohydrate diet therapy.

Notes: The anti-thyroglobulin Ab and anti-thyroperoxidase or anti-microsomal Ab levels of TPO Ab showed a significant difference. Open bars indicate the patients at the beginning of experimental time, while the solid bars indicate values of patients after 21 days of the diet. *,**Significance of difference was set at P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively.
Abbreviations: Ab, antibody; TPO, thyroperoxidase.
