| Spleen (g) | 1.4 ± 0.08 | 1.3 ± 0.07 |
| Lungs (g) | 25.6 ± 1.20 | 26.7 ± 1.13 |
| Heart (g) | 13.1 ± 0.40 a | 11.4 ± 0.42 b |

n represents the number of animals. All organ/tissue weights were corrected using the body weight as a covariate. Data are expressed as least-squares mean ± standard error of means. a, b Values in the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05).
