cardiovascular system
|
• no abnormalities in cardiac development or heart structure are detected
|
|
• a decrease in left ventricle fractional shortening and increase in left ventricular diameter at systole are seen in mice at 6 months of age but not in mice at 3 months of age
• decrease in function is more severe in 6 month old males compared to age matched females
|
behavior/neurological
|
• despite data from experiments using exogenous administration of Apelin, no abnormalities in feeding behaviors or water intake are detected
|
growth/size/body
|
• despite data from experiments using exogenous administration of Apelin, no abnormalities in weight gain are detected
|
muscle
|
• a decrease in left ventricle fractional shortening and increase in left ventricular diameter at systole are seen in mice at 6 months of age but not in mice at 3 months of age
