cardiovascular system
• heart rate is slower by 6-10% at P5 and P8
|
behavior/neurological
• mice are less averse to open, brightly lit spaces compared with wild-type mice
• female mice exhibit decreased anxiety-related behaviors in open field, zero-maze, and light-dark tests compared with wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• pups are smaller than controls by 15-21% at P5 and P8
|
nervous system
• 5HT+ axon varicosities are enlarged compared to in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• oxygen consumption is slightly but significantly lower at P5 and higher at P12
|
mortality/aging
• autoresuscitation is less effective compared to controls following repeated episodic exposure to anoxia and results in increased mortality at P5 and P8, with only 16% of pups surviving to the endpoint at P12; deaths occur during the anoxic challenge
|
respiratory system
• tidal volume is increased by 18-34% at P8 and P12
|
• increase in baseline breathing variability at P5
• autoresuscitation is less effective compared to controls following repeated episodic exposure to anoxia and results in increased mortality at P5 and P8, with only 16% of pups surviving to the endpoint at P12
• pups exposed to anoxia that die at P5 take 4 times longer to initiate gasping and 4 times longer to recover heart rate and eupneic breathing to 90% of baseline
|
• 28% larger minute ventilation at P12
