cardiovascular system
• in younger male animals (12 weeks) two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed increased left ventricular mass
• in older male animals (>14 months) whole heart and individual chamber weights, indexed to tibia length, showed increased left ventricular mass and increased right ventricular weight
|
• at 35 weeks of age, significant decreases in percent fractional shortening are seen by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography
|
hypertension
(
J:96458
)
• increases in mean arterial pressure resulting from increases in both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure on normal diet
|
• systolic blood pressure is further elevated with dietary salt loading
|
• systolic blood pressure is further elevated with dietary salt loading
• systolic blood pressure was also further increased in mutant mice during pregnancy
|
growth/size/body
• in younger male animals (12 weeks) two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed increased left ventricular mass
• in older male animals (>14 months) whole heart and individual chamber weights, indexed to tibia length, showed increased left ventricular mass and increased right ventricular weight
|
• beginning at 15 weeks in females and 20 weeks in males
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at late gestation stages during pregnancy
|
muscle
• at 35 weeks of age, significant decreases in percent fractional shortening are seen by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography
|
renal/urinary system
• at late gestation stages during pregnancy
