calculated heart left ventricle deoxyribonucleic acid content heart left ventricle deoxyribonucleic acid content to body weight ratio 2013-06-18T14:49:33Z A calculated measurement in which amount of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the molecule composed of the sugar deoxyribose, phosphate groups and any combination of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and/or thymine, extracted from or contained in the heart left ventricle, the lower chamber of the left side of the heart (from the perspective of the organism rather than the observer), which pumps oxygenated blood out through the aorta to all the tissues of the body, is divided by the total weight or heaviness of the body and presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage, thus normalizing it to body weight and, by extension, to the size of the organism.
