cardiovascular system
• heterozygous mutant mice also displayed a modest medial expansion of renal arterioles, in the absence of cardiac hypertrophy
|
• at least in anesthetized mice, equivalent and marked levels of blood pressure elevation were observed in both heterozygous and homozygous mutant mice; anesthetized heterozygous mutants were strongly hypertensive with a mean aortic blood pressure of 134 3 mmHg

renal/urinary system
• heterozygous mutant mice also displayed a modest medial expansion of renal arterioles, in the absence of cardiac hypertrophy

nervous system
N |
• hippocampal CA1 neurons of heterozygous mutant mice showed no decrease in the density of apical and basilar spines relative to wild-type littermates
