cardiovascular system
• mild left ventricular dilatation in diastole
|
• left ventricle fractional shortening is decreased
|
• echocardiography shows decreased left ventricle fractional shortening and a small, but significant, increase in left ventricular internal dimension in diastole
|
• blood pressure is increased
|
muscle
• left ventricle fractional shortening is decreased
|
• while mice perform normally in the initial trail of the inverted screen test of strength, in subsequent trials, mice show decreased performance, with mice remaining inverted a shorter time than wild-type mice indicating increased fatigability
|
nervous system
• inside-out patch clamp recordings from ventricular myocytes and aortic smooth muscle cells show that functional K(ATP) channels are absent
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mice do not exhibit cognitive or behavioral defects, including no deficits in learning and memory and do not show anxiety-like behaviors
