mortality/aging

cardiovascular system
• by E12.5, the myocardium of is only 1-2 cell layers thick compared to a thickness of 5 cell layers or more in littermate controls
• by E12.5, the myocardium has pulled away from the epicardium
• by E12.5, large effusions are apparent around the embryonic heart
• in E11.5 embryos, cardiac outputs are nearly 3 fold higher than in littermate controls
• in E11.5 embryos, left ventricular stroke volume is 2.5 fold higher than in controls
• no evidence of valvular regurgitation is detected, indicating that excess flow is in the outward direction
• maternal administration of a smooth muscle tone agonist rescues half of E14.5 embryos from lethality related to cardiac failure
• at E12.5, 25% of embryos lack a heartbeat with the remaining embryos having a slower heartbeat (86 bpm vs 128 bpm)
• by E14.5 all embryos have lost their heartbeat

embryo
• at E12.5, some yolk sacs are poorly perfused while others are devoid of blood

hematopoietic system
• mice have normal amounts of erthyrocytes and do not display other signs of anemia

homeostasis/metabolism
• by E12.5, large effusions are apparent around the embryonic heart

muscle
• by E12.5, the myocardium of is only 1-2 cell layers thick compared to a thickness of 5 cell layers or more in littermate controls
