Cell size/nuclear size ratio The cardiomyocyte cells are larger in wild-type than Ames in young and old. The cell size increased significantly more in the wild-type hearts with a relatively greater cell to nuclear ratio than in the Ames hearts.
| Heart specimens | Cardiomyocyte area (μm²) | Nuclear area (μm²) | Ratio Cardiomyocyte/nuclear area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Young adult wild-type | 228.0 | 22.81 | 10.0 |
| Young adult Ames | 122.8 | 23.45 | 5.24 |
| Old Wild-type | 346.2 | 33.74 | 10.3 |
| Old Ames | 177.2 | 36.14 | 4.9 |
