cardiovascular system
• following transverse aortic constriction (TAC), mice exhibit less of an increase in heart weight, increased fractional shortening, preserved cardiac function, reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis, reduced cardiomyocytes cell size and decreased end-systolic and end-diastolic pressure compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice subjected to TAC exhibit increased left ventricle systolic pressure
