Morphological Parameters.
| Parameter | Air | CIEV |
|---|---|---|
| LV/Tibia (mg/mm) | 22.8±0.5 | 20.9±0.7* |
| RV/Tibia (mg/mm) | 8.9±0.4 | 9.3±0.5 |
| Liver/Tibia (mg/mm) | 321±10 | 316±13 |
| Lung/Tibia (mg/mm) | 43.0±2.0 | 40.2±1.1 |
| Lung Wet/Dry Weight | 4.9±0.6 | 5.3±0.8 |
CIEV decreased left ventricular (LV) mass compared to Air control. CIEV did not affect RV, liver, or lung weights or lung wet/dry weight ratios. There were no significant differences in tibial lengths between groups (not shown).
