Estimated total weight of epithelium and stroma in the ventral lobe per body in rats. Grey columns, SHR; white columns, WKY. The estimated total weights of the epithelium and stroma in the ventral lobe per body weight (mean ± S.E.) in SHR vs. WKY were 0.38 ± 0.04 vs. 0.40 ± 0.05 in 8-week old rats (p = 0.624), 0.48 ± 0.04 vs. 0.45 ± 0.02 in 12-week old rats (p = 0.303), 0.46 ± 0.02 vs. 0.42 ± 0.02 in 16-week old rats (p = 0.090), 0.52 ± 0.02 vs. 0.43 ± 0.03 in 28-week old rats (p = 0.03) and 0.55 ± 0.04 vs. 0.41 ± 0.02 in 56-week-old rats (p = 0.014). Significant differences in weight were observed between SHR and WKY at 28 and 56 weeks of age
