cardiovascular system
N |
• heart morphology and function are the same as wild-type under non-stressed conditions
|
• 2 days after ischemic reperfusion, peri-infarct and remote myocyte apoptosis is decreased by half compared to in wild-type mice
• following ischemic assault, end volume systolic volume is only increased 35+/-20% compared to an increase of 181+/-41% in wild-type mice, sphericity is unchanged, ejection fraction is stable
• post-ischemic ventricular remodeling is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• infarct scar thickness is greater than in wild-type mice
• however, infarct size is similar to in wild-type mice
• remote myocardial contraction is better post-ischemia than in wild-type mice (-12.2+/-1.0 compared to -8.9+/-0.6 in wild-type mice)

hematopoietic system
N |
• circulating red and white blood cells and platelet counts are normal
