cardiovascular system
• under normoxic or hypoxic conditions, mice exhibit an increase in vascular permeability compared to wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• following exposure to hypoxic conditions, mice exhibit a greater increase in lung water, vascular leakiness and neutrophil accumulation compared to similarly treated wild-type mice even when wild-type bone marrow is transplanted into mice
|
reproductive system
|
• mice fail to exhibit corpus cavernosal smooth muscle relaxation in response to treatment with adenosine as do wild-type mice
|
immune system
• dendrictic cells generated from hematopoietic progenitor cells fail to exhibit increased production in VEGF, CXCL1 or IL6 in response to treatment with NECA as do wild-type cells
|
• production reduced about 10% relative to controls in response to E coli and adenosine
