liver/biliary system
• although liver histology was generally normal, hepatocytes were smaller with a larger nuclear volume
• after 2 weeks of treatment with peroxisome proliferators, the expected hypertrophy did not occur except for a few hepatocytes in centrilobular regions

The Med1tm2Jkr/Med1tm2Jkr A1cfTg(Myh6-cre/Esr1*)1Jmk/A1cf+ mouse heart is flaccid and flabby after tamoxifen induction.

mortality/aging
• mice survive between 13 and 28 days after the first day of tamoxifen injection

cardiovascular system
• hearts appear increasingly flaccid by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 7 weeks of age exhibit an increase in heart size by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
• tamoxifen treated mice show thinning of the ventricular walls
• tamoxifen treated mice show dilatation of the right and left ventricular chambers with thinning of the walls and myocardial cells
• interstitial myocardial fibrosis in tamoxifen-treated hearts
• tamoxifen-treated mice show diminished heart contractility with ejection fraction only 11% vs. 64% in controls and fractional shortening of 4.77% vs. 33.88% in controls
• echocardiography indicates increased left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension, and decreased fractional shortening and ejection fraction in tamoxifen treated mice
• in tamoxifen treated mice

cellular
• interstitial myocardial fibrosis in tamoxifen-treated hearts
• tamoxifen-treated hearts show enhanced apoptosis, with the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased about 10-fold

muscle
• tamoxifen-treated mice show diminished heart contractility with ejection fraction only 11% vs. 64% in controls and fractional shortening of 4.77% vs. 33.88% in controls
• tamoxifen-treated hearts show enhanced apoptosis, with the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased about 10-fold

growth/size/body
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 7 weeks of age exhibit an increase in heart size by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection

Heart sections of Med1tm2Jkr/Med1tm2Jkr Tg(Myh6-cre)2182Mds/0 heart reveal thinning of ventricular walls and dilation of chambers.

mortality/aging
• nearly 100% of mice die within 10 days post weaning

cardiovascular system
• lipid vacuoles of differing sizes are seen in cardiomyocytes
• cardiomyocytes show varying mitochondrial abnormalities, with some mitochondria containing lipid droplets and membranous swirls
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
• size of the heart increases by 22-29 days of age
• dilation of right and left ventricular chambers with thinning of the walls and myocardial cells
• dilated cardiomyopathy with atrial and ventricular dilatation
• at day 29, contractility of heart is diminished with a fractional shortening of 9.47% compared to 41.08% in controls and ejection fraction of 20.7% compared to 74.27% in controls
• echocardiography shows increased left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension, decreased fractional shortening, and decreased ejection fraction

cellular
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
• increase in apoptosis in hearts, with an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cardiomyocytes

homeostasis/metabolism
• heart weight/body weight ratio is increased but dry heart weight is decreased, suggesting edematous heart
• lung weight/body weight ratio is increased most likely due to pulmonary edema

muscle
• lipid vacuoles of differing sizes are seen in cardiomyocytes
• cardiomyocytes show varying mitochondrial abnormalities, with some mitochondria containing lipid droplets and membranous swirls
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
• dilated cardiomyopathy with atrial and ventricular dilatation
• at day 29, contractility of heart is diminished with a fractional shortening of 9.47% compared to 41.08% in controls and ejection fraction of 20.7% compared to 74.27% in controls
• increase in apoptosis in hearts, with an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cardiomyocytes
• irregularities in Z band pattern

respiratory system
• lung weight/body weight ratio is increased most likely due to pulmonary edema

growth/size/body
• size of the heart increases by 22-29 days of age
