mortality/aging
• mutants exposed to tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth to induce cre expression begin dying suddenly around 10 weeks of age
|
growth/size/body
• by 10 weeks of age, mutants that are exposed to tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth, are smaller
|
cardiovascular system
• 8- to 10-week old mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth exhibit venous congestion
|
• the space between myocardial fibers is increased in mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth
|
• cardiomyocytes of mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth are enlarged, with occasional large nuclei
|
• mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth consistently exhibit dilated cardiomyopathy
|
• mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth exhibit increased contraction band necrosis indicative of early cardiac ischemia
|
hemorrhage
(
J:132718
)
• retroperitoneal hemorrhage is observed by 10 weeks of age in mutants exposed to tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth
|
hematopoietic system
polycythemia
(
J:132718
)
• mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth show profound increases in red blood cell production associated with increased serum erythropoietin levels
|
muscle
• the space between myocardial fibers is increased in mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth
|
• cardiomyocytes of mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth are enlarged, with occasional large nuclei
|
• mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth consistently exhibit dilated cardiomyopathy
|
integument
reddish skin
(
J:132718
)
• by 10 weeks of age, mutants that are exposed to tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth are erythematous and begin dying suddenly
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mutants treated with tamoxifen at E17.5 and 3 weeks after birth show profound increases in red blood cell production associated with increased serum erythropoietin levels
