The size of the intercalated disc with age.
| Age of animal | Major axis of the intercalated disc | Minor axis of the intercalated disc |
|---|---|---|
| (months) | (μm) | (μm) |
| 1 | 7.79 ± 0.36 | 5.23 ± 0.25 |
| 18 | 10.56 ± 0.38 | 7.77 ± 0.27 |
| 26 | 12.10 ± 0.42 | 8.43 ± 0.19 |
| 38 | 12.28 ± 0.47 | 8.79 ± 0.35 |
The maximal distance across the intercalated discs was recorded as the major axis, and the minimal distance recorded as the minor axis (n = 30 for each age group; ANOVA p < 0.001).
