ΔCT mean ± SD values of DIO3 and THRB gene expressions between normal-weight and obese participants. There was a significant difference in ΔCT mean values of THRB between obese (9.69 ± 2.85) and normal-weight samples (7.28 ± 3.66). A significant difference in ΔCT mean values of DIO3 between obese (17.12 ± 1.89) and normal-weight samples (18.7 ± 2.35) was observed. Gene expression results were expressed as the fold change defined by 2– ΔΔct. The higher ΔCT values indicate lower gene expression. *P < 0.05 between normal-weight and obese subjects
