Table 1.
Relative weight [with regard to body weight (BW)] of whole hearts (HW/BW), ventricles (V/BW), right atria (RA/BW) and left atria (LA/BW) in wild type (WT) and A2A-AR overexpressing animals at the age of 12 and 30 weeks.
| 12 weeks | 30 weeks | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT (n = 65) | A2A-AR (n = 51) | WT (n = 32) | A2A-AR (n = 36) | |
| HW/BW (mg/g) | 4.79 ± 0.06 | 4.73 ± 0.06 | 4.88 ± 0.07 | 4.89 ± 0.11 |
| V/BW (mg/g) | 4.08 ± 0.04 | 4.03 ± 0.06 | 4.05 ± 0.05 | 4.11 ± 0.02 |
| RA/BW (mg/g) | 0.37 ± 0.01 | 0.38 ± 0.01 | 0.38 ± 0.01 | 0.41 ± 0.02 |
| LA/BW (mg/g) | 0.18 ± 0.01 | 0.15 ± 0.02 | 0.17 ± 0.01 | 0.17 ± 0.01 |
No significant differences were noted between WT and A2A-AR overexpressing animals.
