mortality/aging
• triple homozygous mutant embryos died between E9.5-E11.5

cardiovascular system
N
• at E9.5, triple mutant embryos had a normal heart rate and a normal cardiac structure
• at E10.5, only moribund triple mutant embryos displayed bradycardia
• also, triple mutant embryos had normal concentrations of L-dopa and noradrenaline but exhibited a reduction in basal phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase-1 and -3

embryo
• the yolk sac of triple homozygous mutant embryos was less vascularized and appeared more translucent relative to wild-type
• the endothelial cells in the yolk sac were often detached from the visceral endoderm cell layer
• triple mutant mice displayed a significantly reduced density of fetal blood vessels in the placental vascular labyrinth, which leads to embryonic lethality as a result of limited oxygen and nutrient supply

cardiovascular system
• double homozygous mutant mice displayed increased plasma noradrenaline concentrations and developed cardiac hypertrophy with reduced left ventricular contractility by 4 months of age

nervous system
• the inhibitory effect of brimonidine on norepinephrine release was completely abolished in double homozygous mutant mice
• additional experiments in double homozygous mutant mice demonstrated that ADRA2A inhibits transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas ADRA2C regulates release at lower levels; both subtypes are, however, required for normal presynaptic control of neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons

growth/size/body
• double homozygous mutant mice displayed increased plasma noradrenaline concentrations and developed cardiac hypertrophy with reduced left ventricular contractility by 4 months of age
