Variability of cardiomyocyte DNA content, ploidy level and nuclear number in mammalian hearts. DNA content, ploidy level, cell size and nuclear number were investigated in 54 mammalian hearts from nine species. DNA content was determined biochemically and ploidy level of cells was studied by the means of Feulgen cytophotometry. Nuclear number was calculated by a new method, while cell size was determined by using ocular micrometry. In most mammals diploid cell nuclei predominate. Higher ploidy levels were found in the human and the pig hearts. The total amount of DNA correlated with the myocardial weight. Eight million heart muscle cell nuclei were found in mice (myocardial weight 160 m...
