While the diaphragm weight relative to body weight was higher in mdx compared to CON mice ( p < 0.01) as per the hind limb skeletal muscles, the heart weight relative to body mass was reduced in mdx compared to CON mice ( p < 0.01) and there was a strong trend for a similar genotype-dependent reduction in lung weight ( p = 0.060).
