Prior to euthanasia, animals' weights were recorded. Then, they were euthanized with an overdose of isoflurane. Thoracotomy was performed to excise the heart. Moreover, fragments of the lung and the liver were obtained, and their weights were recorded before (wet weights) and after (dry weights) dryness (65°C for 72 h). The wet/dry weight ratio was calculated (4).
