  1. Mean values and standard deviation of linear measurements (in mm) are shown in this table. In addition, breed-related coefficients of variation (CV) and Pearson correlations for the respective measurement with body weight are represented in the chart. NS = not significant, L = left adrenal gland R = right adrenal gland
