Elevated serum IL-6, metanephrine, and ALT levels in thyroid storm mouse model. Blood samples were taken 4 h after administration of LPS in the TS model mice. IL-6, metanephrine, and ALT were measured. Compared with the T3 alone and LPS alone groups, the TS model group had significant increases in serum IL-6 (*P < .05, A), metanephrine (*P < .05, B), and ALT (*P < .05, C). Data are shown as mean ± SE. TS: thyroid storm. LPS: lipopolysaccharide. T3: triiodothyronine. IL-6: interleukin-6. ALT: alanine aminotransferase
