cardiovascular system
• exhibit an approximately 20% hypertrophy from birth up to 6 weeks and more than 44% after 9 weeks
|
• at 3-4 months of age, mutant mice develop eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy with decreased fractional shortening
|
• myocardial disarray and an increase of interstitial fibrosis
|
• myocytes isolated from the left ventricle have a higher calcium sensitivity at the shorter, but not longer, sarcomere lengths
• PKA stimulation of myocytes has almost no effect on the calcium sensitivity of myofilaments, unlike in wild-type that show a decrease in calcium sensitivity
|
• exhibit decreased fractional shortening
