cardiovascular system
• average left ventricular weight of 46.2mg is significantly higher than control A/J and results from an increase in the end-diastolic dimension and a proportional increase in wall thickness
|
• aortic ejection time is significantly longer than in A/J mice
|
• average left ventricular shortening of 39.1 is significantly lower than the 47.1 in A/J mice
|
• average 433 beats per minute versus 524 in A/J
|
• average heart rate is approximately 50 beats per minute higher than that in A/J
|
immune system
• moderately susceptible to mouse-adapted SARS-CoV
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• Background Sensitivity: the pineal gland is more flattened than that of CBA mice and there is a loss of volume associated with a loss of pinealocytes between 6 weeks and 10 months of age, when the pineal volume of CBA increases
|
• Background Sensitivity: the C57BL/6J pineal gland is melatonin deficient
|
muscle
• aortic ejection time is significantly longer than in A/J mice
|
• average left ventricular shortening of 39.1 is significantly lower than the 47.1 in A/J mice
|
nervous system
• Background Sensitivity: the pineal gland is more flattened than that of CBA mice and there is a loss of volume associated with a loss of pinealocytes between 6 weeks and 10 months of age, when the pineal volume of CBA increases
|
• Background Sensitivity: the C57BL/6J pineal gland is melatonin deficient
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• exercise time on a treadmill is significantly greater than that of A/J
