mortality/aging
• death by E8 to E9
|
embryo
• impaired
|
• evident at E7.5, embryos were smaller, thinner, developmentally retarded
|
• increased cell death in epiblast, evident at E6.5
• decreased cellular proliferation results in growth retardation at primitive streak stage; however, primitive streak formation, mesoderm differentiation and migration are not impaired
|
• decreased vacuolization in visceral endoderm at E6.5
|
growth/size/body
• evident at E7.5, embryos were smaller, thinner, developmentally retarded
