mortality/aging
• all die within a few hours of birth
|
embryo
• significant reduction in the size of the blood space at the border of the trophoblast cell layer and maternal decidua at E18.5
|
• At E13.5 in the chorionic plate region there is a reduced number of embryonic blood vessels and little expansion of the network compared to control littermates
• significant reduction in the numbers of embryonic blood vessels in the chorionic plate region at E18.5
|
• at E13.5, the vascular network is sparser
• extensive reduction vascular networks in the labyrinth layer at E18.5
|
• reduced in size at E18.5
|
• at E13.5 and E18.5
|
• at E18.5
|
• poor proliferation of embryonic vascular endothelial cells in the chorionic plate at E13.5
|
• increase in apoptosis in the labyrinth and junctional zones at E13.5
|
respiratory system
• smaller and appear to be collapsed at E18.5
|
growth/size/body
• at E18.5
|
• severely growth delayed at E18.5
