cardiovascular system
• approximately 2-fold increase in the total number of cardiomyocytes in 14-day old mutants
• adult cardiomyocytes exhibit abnormal patterns of multinucleation, with an increase in the number of nuclei
|
• 40% increase in the heart weight to body weight ratio
(J:40920)
|
• tritiated thymidine incorporation analysis shows sustained cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis in adults
(J:40920)
• myocardial injury (isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy and cautery damage) reduces the ventricular cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis that is observed in mutants
(J:104622)
