cardiovascular system
• in the presence of FGF-2, aortic ring sprouting in culture is greater than for wild-type rings
|
• subcutaneous implantation of Matrigel containing FGF-2 produces more neovascularization than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• hemoglobin content is 2.6-fold higher in FGF-2 Matrigel plugs compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• virgin female mice exhibit increased branching of mammary gland ducts and precocious alveolar structures typical of pregnant mice
• however, the width of primary ducts is normal
