From judging the table I would rewrite the abstract:
"...RESULTS: Baseline concentrations of thyroid hormones, RBP and TTR werenot significantly different between groups. Vitamin A caused a significant greater reduction in serum TSH concentrations in obese (p = 0.004) and nonobese (p = 0.001) groups than was seen in the placebo group. Serum T3 concentrations also increased more in both obese and nonobese vitamin A-treated groups (p < 0.001) than in the placebo group. Serum T4 decreased in all 3 groups after treatment. There was a greater reduction of T4 in the sublemented obese group than in the two other groups. The results showed a significant reduction in serum RBP in the obese group after vitamin A supplementation (p = 0.007), but no significant change was seen in serum TTR. Seasonal changes of the thyroid hormones were seen in all groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Serum TSH concentrations in vitamin A-treated subjects were significantly reduced; therefore, vitamin A supplementation might reduce the risk of subclinical hypothyroidism in premenopausal women. Nonobese with a lower baseline TSH concentration profit more from vitamin A supplementation than obese."
