| Strains | BW (g) | LKa (g × 10−3) | RKa (g × 10−3) | RVa (g × 10−3) | LVSa (g × 10−3) | RV/LVS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSR | 239±3 | 5.3±0.19 | 5.3±0.16 | 0.65±0.02 | 2.30±0.02 | 0.28±0.01 |
| DSS | 272±4b | 4.2±0.10b | 4.3±0.10b | 0.78±0.02 | 3.42±0.10b | 0.23±0.01b |
Body weight (BW), right kidney (RK); left kidney (RV); right ventricle (RV); left ventricle plus septum (LVS). Each value represents the mean of 25 measurements±s.e.m.
a
Value corrected for body weight.
b
Significantly different from Dahl SR rats, P<0.05.
