mortality/aging
• no mice survive beyond P1
• however, indomethacin-treatment rescues neonatal survival
|
cardiovascular system
• after birth, the ductus arteriosus exhibits a single endothelial layer with an open lumen covered by layers of normal intimal thickening unlike in wild-type mice
• however, the ductus arteriosus is normal before birth
|
• in mice that die on P1

homeostasis/metabolism
• indomethacin-rescued mice exhibit reduced prostaglandin E2 metabolite plasma concentrations compared with wild-type mice
• mice from maternal indomethacin rescue exhibit increased urinary prostaglandin E2 levels compared with wild-type mice
|
• mice from maternal indomethacin rescue exhibit increased urinary prostaglandin E2 levels compared with wild-type mice

cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts fail to exhibit carrier-mediated 3H-PGE2 uptake unlike wild-type cells
