Comparative data on body, heart, and lung weights

Control MCT + V MCT + G1
FBW, g 289.0 ± 19.3 307.0 ± 14.1 274.0 ± 20.4
HW/FBW, mg/g 2.9 ± 0.1 4.4 ± 0.3* 3.2 ± 0.3
RVW/FBW, mg/g 0.7 ± 0.05 1.9 ± 0.1* 0.7 ± 0.1
LV + S/FBW, mg/g 2.3 ± 0.1 2.6 ± 0.2 2.4 ± 0.2
RVW/LV + S 0.3 ± 0.03 0.8 ± 0.02* 0.3 ± 0.01
Lung W/FBW, mg/g 8.2 ± 0.6 13.1 ± 0.8* 9.8 ± 0.9

Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M (n = 5 rats per group).

*

P < 0.05 compared with control rats, and

P < 0.05 compared with MCT + vehicle rats.

FBW, final body weight; HW, heart weight; RVW, right ventricle weight; LV+S, left ventricle plus septum; Lung W, lung weight; MCT, monocrotaline; V, vehicle.
