cardiovascular system
• transmural infarct affecting left ventricle, produced by occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery (LADA), is ~25% smaller (as percentage of left ventricle volume or percentage of LADA territory) than in controls
|
nervous system
• MCA occlusion results in an ipsilateral infarct affecting the striatum and cerebral cortex that is ~30% smaller than the lesion produced in wild-type brains
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• transmural infarct affecting left ventricle, produced by occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery (LADA), is ~25% smaller (as percentage of left ventricle volume or percentage of LADA territory) than in controls
|
• myocardial tissue sections from transgenic animals show markedly increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) immunoreactivity and increased eNOS protein expression by Western blot compared to wild-type myocardium

• MCA occlusion results in an ipsilateral infarct affecting the striatum and cerebral cortex that is ~30% smaller than the lesion produced in wild-type brains
