Comparison of heart and left ventricular mass among the groups.

	Con	ISO	PCr
BW (g)	193.6±9.41	188.7±10.59	191.5±7.88
HW (g)	1.12±0.10	1.36±0.0	1.31±0.0
HW/BW (mg/g)	5.79±0.57	7.26±0.6	6.85±0.4
LVW (g)	0.63±0.09	0.89±0.0	0.85±0.0
LVW/BW (mg/g)	3.23±0.42	4.70±0.4	4.43±0.5

The data are given as the mean ± SD. BW, body weight; HW, heart weight; HW/BW, ratio of the heart weight to the body weight; LVW, left ventricular weight; LVW/BW, ratio of the left ventricular weight to the body weight. P < 0.05 versus control group. ^#: P < 0.01 versus control group, n=8 per group.
