(b) Relative weights (% of body weight) of the heart, gastrocnemius, extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles. Tukey boxplot (n = 12 rats per group). Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons test for Total Proteins. Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison tests for Gastrocnemius. One-way ANOVA followed by Holm-Sidak’s multiple comparisons test for all other variables
