Body weight, Fulton index, RV collagen content, and hematocrit for CTL, HPH, and HPH + CP mice

	CTL	HPH	HPH + CP
BW (g)	26.8 ± 0.7	25.5 ± 0.4	23.3 ± 0.6 a , b
Fulton index (RV/LV + S)	0.26 ± 0.01	0.40 ± 0.02 b	0.35 ± 0.01 a , b
Relative RV OHP (μg/mg tissue)	2.40 ± 0.50 (n = 8)	3.59 ± 0.37 b (n = 5)	3.30 ± 0.20 b (n = 7)
Total RV OHP (μg/heart)	53 ± 4 (n = 8)	120 ± 16 b (n = 5)	92 ± 7 b (n = 7)
Hematocrit (%)	40 ± 1	69 ± 3 b	71 ± 3 b

Note: Values are means ± SE; n = 9 for CTL, n = 13 for HPH and n = 10 for HPH + CP. BW, body weight; RV, right ventricular; LV, left ventricular; S, septum.

^aP < 0.05 versus CTL;

^bP < 0.05 versus HPH.
