Heart weight to tibial length ratio

1. Exercise increases heart weight to tibial length ratio in mice (6.15±0.18 vs 7.41±0.52, p<0.01).

   “running increased the heart weight to tibial length ratio (HW/TL, 6.15±0.18 in Sed vs 7.41±0.52 in Run, p<0.01, n=6/group) and CM size without affecting fractional shortening”
