mortality/aging
• although mice are born alive, no mice survive beyond the first week after birth
|
cardiovascular system
• mice exhibit an increase in the duration of ST, QT and QTc intervals
|
• at E18.5, the QT interval is prolonged 10% and at P0 it is prolonged by 51%
|
• 70% of mice exhibit left or right bundle branch block
|
• at E18.5, the QRS complex is prolonged 30% compared to in wild-type mice and electrocardiogram trace morphologies exhibit notching or fractionation of the QRS complex
• at P0, the QRS complex is prolonged 44% compared to in wild-type mice
|
• sodium current density in cardiac myocytes is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
cellular
• the ratio of mitochondrial DNA to nuclear DNA is increased by 90% in cardiac muscle cells
|
• citrate synthase, NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase activity is reduced in cardiac muscle cells
