cardiovascular system
• Cx43 signal is reduced significantly in sections of ventricular myocardium; the number and size of Cx43 gap junction plaques in ventricular myocardium are significantly reduced
• homozygous mice have larger hearts than wild-type littermates
• the ratio of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) and heart weight to tibia length (HW/TL) is increased in 3 month old homozygous mice
• observed in homozygous mice at 3 months of age
• both left ventricular internal dimension (LVID;s) and left ventricular volume (LV Vol;s) in systole were significantly increased in homozygous mice
• fractional shortening (FS) is decreased in homozygous mice
• ejection fraction (EF) is decreased in homozygous mice
