  1. Liver weight/brain weight ratio, heart weight/brain weight ratio, and kidneys weight/brain weight ratio of control and MDMA-treated rats. Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation, and were obtained from seven animals in each group. The mean brain weight of control animals was 1.57 ± 0.04, and of MDMA-treated was 1.63 ± 0.05. Statistical comparisons were made using the t-test for the heart weight/brain weight ratio and the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test for the liver weight/brain weight ratio and kidneys weight/brain weight ratio
