cardiovascular system
• ability to mount a hypertrophic response to stress is compromised as mutants in response to thoracic aortic banding show only a 22% increase in cardiac mass compared to a 60% increase in wild-type
• cardiac hypertrophy is suppressed in mutants following chronic infusion with angiotensin II and the adrenergic agonist isoproterenol
