RV/LV ratiofor the four different groups of rats ( n = 8 per group). RV/LV ratio of free-wall thicknessfor the four groups: Group A: 47.3 ± 7.3%, Group B: 48.2 ± 1.8%, Group C: 78.2 ± 4.2%, Group D: 58.2 ± 5.3%. Data are expressed as means ± standard error of the mean. * P < 0.001 vs Group A and Group B; # P < 0.05 vs Group C; $ P < 0.05 vs Group A and Group B. LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.
