	Control	MUN	P Value
Males
Body weight (g)	647 ± 17	742 ± 20	<.01
Adrenal weight (mg)	71.2 ± 1.9	69.6 ± 2.2	NS
Relative adrenal weight	0.0117 ± 0.0001	0.0093 ± 0.0003	<.05
Females
Body weight (g)	350 ± 18	420 ± 15	<.01
Adrenal weight (mg)	100.4 ± 6.4	90.8 ± 4.3	<.07
Relative adrenal weight	0.0295 ± 0.0013	0.0233 ± 0.0022	<.05

^a Values are expressed as mean ± SEM relative adrenal weight = adrenal weight (g)/body weight (g) × 100.
