Body and organs mass profile of animals subjected to DOX treatment protocols.

Data refers to wet organ mass and its ratio to body mass was obtained dividing the organ mass over the respective total animal mass times 1000. The deceased DOX-treated rat and its matched control in the sub-chronic model were excluded from this analysis. Differences between treatment groups means within the same model were evaluated by Student’s t test (see Material and Methods for detailed information).*p≤0.05;**p≤0.01;***p≤0.001 vs saline group of the same treatment protocol. HM:BM – heart mass to body mass ratio; LM:BM – liver mass to body mass ratio; KM:BM – kidney mass to body mass ratio; SE – standard error.
