Main somatic indices of animals at the end of the observations.
| Group | Body Weight (BW) (g) | Heart Weight (HW) (g) | HW/BW Ratio (mg/g) |
Mortality Rate (%) (Dead/Alive) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cntl | 316.33 ± 17.45 | 1.19 ± 0.09 | 3.75 ± 0.13 | 0 (0/10) |
| Cntl + aqTAX | 314.60 ± 12.07 | 1.18 ± 0.03 | 3.88 ± 0.14 | 0 (0/10) |
| ISO | 297.00 ± 7.28 | 1.37 ± 0.03 | 4.64 ± 0.15 * | 33.3 (5/15) |
| ISO + aqTAX | 281.00 ± 8.14 | 1.23 ± 0.03 | 4.27 ± 0.13 | 9 (1/11) |
Values are means with standard errors of the mean. One-way analysis of variance followed by Turkey’s post hoc test was used (n = 10–15). * p < 0.05 compared to the Cntl group.
