mortality/aging
• mice show increased mortality in a collagen/epinephrine-induced thromboembolism model, with 67% of mice dying of respiratory arrest within 5 minutes of collagen/epinephrine administration compared to 27% in wild-type mice
|
• analysis of 385 progeny of heterozygote parents reveals only 20% of mice are homozygotes at 6 weeks of age, which is significantly lower than the expected 25% incidence
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• ferric chloride-induced carotid artery injury leads to 60% occlusion after 40 minutes, which is significantly higher than the 28% occlusion that occurs in wild-type mice
• increased mortality from pulmonary thromboembolism following collagen/epinephrine infusion
