ISO-treatment and exercise induce enlargement of mouse hearts. Top - Heart Weight to Body Weight ratios (HW/BW) for sedentary, ISO-treated or exercised mice. Values are represented as mean ± S.E.M of all mice (8-week old C57BL/6J males). There were 6 mice each in the sedentary group, ISO group, and exercised group. The asterisk denotes statistical significance based on Student's t test for ISO-treated or exercised mice compared to sedentary controls (p value < 0.01). Bottom- Representative histological coronal sections of hearts of sedentary control (A), ISO-treated (B), and exercised (C) C57BL/6J mice. As shown, ISO-treated and exercised mice exhibited enlarged heart masses compared to sedentary mice.
