mortality/aging
• 47% of mice die within the first 48 hours of birth from internal bleeding
|
cardiovascular system
• occurs during pregnancy
|
• all mice suffer from neonatal intra-abdominal hermorrhage
|
hematopoietic system
• 5% reduction in hematocrit
|
• 9% reduction in corpuscular volume
|
• white blood cell count is almost 2-fold higher
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• level of serum fibrinogen is one-eighth of normal
|
• fibrinogen fails to clot upon addition of thrombin and instead remains soluble
|
• calcium fails to protect against plasmin degradation of fibrinogen
|
• serum fails to clot upon addition of thrombin
|
immune system
• white blood cell count is almost 2-fold higher
|
• level of serum fibrinogen is one-eighth of normal
|
