cardiovascular system
• increase in the heart weight to body weight ratio
|
• cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis is detected in hearts, unlike in controls
• myocardial injury (isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy) has no effect on the ventricular cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis that is observed in mutants
|
• mutants subjected to permanent coronary artery occlusion exhibit high levels of cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis compared to very low levels in controls after injury
|
• infract size in hearts is reduced and cardiomyocyte numbers are increased at 150 days after injury (coronary artery occlusion) but not at 7 days after injury
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mutants subjected to permanent coronary artery occlusion exhibit high levels of cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis compared to very low levels in controls after injury
|
• infract size in hearts is reduced and cardiomyocyte numbers are increased at 150 days after injury (coronary artery occlusion) but not at 7 days after injury

growth/size/body
• increase in the heart weight to body weight ratio
