SD affected thyroid morphology. Histopathological changes were found in the rat thyroid on exposure to SD. Representative light microphotographs (magnitude 400x in (a–c) of HE staining of thyroid): (a) thyroid in the CC group; (b) thyroid in the TC group; (c) thyroid in the SD group; (d) follicular volume was measured. Data are shown as the median (bar), and scatter plots are shown. , , compared with rats in the CC or TC group; in each group.
