cardiovascular system
• cardiovascular development is normal however vascular regrowth is reduced in the retina in response to hypoxia following loss of vessels during a hyperoxic exposure
• tumor angiogenesis is also reduced for multiple lines of injected tumor cells resulting in reduced tumor growth, however in an orthotopic model of mammary carcinogenesis tumor vascularization and growth were not different from wild-type
