mortality/aging
cardiovascular system
• a compact nonvascularized cell layer is seen in place of the normal capillary bed
|
• increased apoptosis is seen in the myocardium
|
• seen at E9.5
|
• at E9.0 and E10.5, heart rate is reduced to about 4 and 0 bpm compared to 72 and 76 bpm in wild-type and 46 and 57 bpm in partially rescued embryos

embryo
• a compact nonvascularized cell layer is seen in place of the normal capillary bed
|
• at about E9.0
|
• the mesoderm and endoderm are separate with few areas of contact
|
• no definitive vasculature is present at E9.5; however some primitive vascular cells are present
|
muscle
• increased apoptosis is seen in the myocardium
