AH‐130 tumor inoculation induces a loss in rRNA that is associated with reductions in skeletal and cardiac muscle mass. (a) Quantification of total RNA in skeletal muscle (top). Pearson's correlation coefficient between rRNA and skeletal muscle mass (bottom). (b) Quantification of total rRNA in the heart (top). Pearson's correlation coefficient between rRNA and heart mass (bottom). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. Statistical significance was determined by a two‐tailed unpaired t‐test for total RNA, p = significant differences from control. Correlations were calculated using Pearson's product–moment correlation coefficients.
