mortality/aging
• there is a 50% mortality rate between birth and weaning
|
cardiovascular system
• pulmonary arteries of E18.5 embryos and newborns are significantly smaller
|
• aorta diameters of all E18.5 embryos and newborns are decreased compared to wild-type mice
|
• mean aortic velocity in one month old mice is 1.74 m/s which is significantly faster than the mean velocity of 0.93 m/s for controls
• mean pulmonary velocity in one month old mice is 1.9 m/s which is significantly faster than the mean velocity of 1.5 m/s for controls
