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.
