In contrast, the proportion of fT3 to tT3 was highest in mole-rats (0.38±0.14%; rats: 0.17±0.09%; guinea pigs 0.23±0.08%), with differences being statistically significant in the comparison with rats and close to significance threshold in the comparison with guinea pigs (one-way ANOVA: F = 7.724, p = 0.004; Bonferroni post hoc comparison: mole-rats vs. rats: p = 0.004; mole-rats vs. guinea pig: p = 0.075; rat vs. guinea pig: p >0.99; Figure 4 ).
