cardiovascular system
• three weeks after surgical thoracic aortic constriction (TAC), mice have 50% less weight gain in the heart compared to wild-type mice
• mice only increase heart weight by 11% compared to 16% for wild-type mice after two weeks treatment with angiotensin II
• mice only increase heart weight by 21% compared to 37% increase in wild-type mice one week after isoproterenol treatment
|
• three weeks after TAC surgery, mice have minimal increase in left ventricle wall thickness unlike wild-type mice that have pronounced thickening of the left ventricle wall in response to TAC
• mice are resistant to dilation of left ventricle that occurs three weeks after TAC surgery in wild-type mice
|
• mice have much less fibrosis of the heart three weeks after TAC surgery compared to wild-type mice
• less fibrosis also occurs compared to wild-type mice in response to angiotensin II treatment
|
• mice do not display a decrease in fractional shortening three weeks after TAC surgery while wild-type mice have significant decreases
|
• mice are resistant to reductions in heart rate that occur three weeks after thoracic aortic constriction (TAC) surgery
