From: Inflammatory changes in the airways of mice caused by cigarette smoke exposure are only partially reversed after smoking cessation

Figure 2

Cigarette smoke-induced right ventricle heart hypertrophy is irreversible. Right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) + septum (S) were dissected after 20 weeks air exposure (white bar), after 20 weeks smoke exposure (black bar) and after 20 weeks smoke exposure plus a smoking cessation period of 8 weeks (grey bar) to determine their weight ratio (RV(LV+S)). n = 6-7 animals per group. Values are expressed as mean +/- S.E.M. ***P ≤ 0.001; significantly different from the control group.
