Effects of RES and ISO on the gravimetric parameters.

Group	Control	RES	ISO	ISO + RES
Weight (g)	595.86 ± 15.15	596.00 ± 21.30	544.50 ± 11.63	593.86 ± 18.41
Ventricular weight (g)	1.33 ± 0.01	1.31 ± 0.01	1.53 ± 0.02#	1.35 ± 0.01∗
Tibia length (mm)	51.43 ± 0.72	51.57 ± 0.72	50.86 ± 0.55	49.86 ± 0.35
Ventricular weight/body weight (mg/g)	2.25 ± 0.06	2.21 ± 0.08	2.81 ± 0.06#	2.29 ± 0.09∗
Ventricular weight/tibia length (mg/mm)	26.03 ± 0.47	25.33 ± 0.33	29.96 ± 0.28#	27.02 ± 0.13∗

Eight weeks after ISO-induced myocardial infarction, body weight, mass of ventricles, and tibia length were measured. Ventricular weight/body weight (mg/g) and ventricular weight/tibia length (mg/mm) ratios were calculated. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM. ^#P < 0.05 versus control. ^∗P < 0.05 versus ISO.
