cardiovascular system
N |
• mice exhibit normal cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis, ejection fraction, and fractional shortening
|
• ventricular myocytes exhibit a 1.6-fold increase in cross-sectional area compared to in wild-type mice
|
• modest at 9 to 15 weeks
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• angiotensin II-treated mice exhibit a reduced cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiac apoptosis unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
muscle
• ventricular myocytes exhibit a 1.6-fold increase in cross-sectional area compared to in wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• modest at 9 to 15 weeks
