Tissue weights of rats before and after MI and treatment with scutellarin
| Group | Normal (n = 8) | Scutellarin (30 mg kg−1 day−1n = 8) | Sham (n = 8) | MI (n = 8) | MI + Scu (3 mg kg−1 day−1n = 9) | MI + Scu (10 mg kg−1 day−1n = 9) | MI + Scu (30 mg kg−1 day−1n = 9) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body weight (g) | 366 ± 13 | 361 ± 11 | 367 ± 12 | 348 ± 13 | 362 ± 12 | 358 ± 11 | 368 ± 9 |
| HW/BW ratio (mg g−1) | 3.13 ± 0.14 | 3.15 ± 0.07 | 3.16 ± 0.09 | 3.74 ± 0.11# | 3.61 ± 0.16 | 3.51 ± 0.14 | 3.22 ± 0.08* |
| LVW/BW ratio (mg g−1) | 2.34 ± 0.07 | 2.37 ± 0.1 | 2.36 ± 0.08 | 2.71 ± 0.09 | 2.6 ± 0.09 | 2.47 ± 0.07 | 2.43 ± 0.1 |
