cardiovascular system
• 51% reduction of tensile strength (breaking strength) and a 59% reduction of elastic modulus (stiffness) of the ascending aortas
|
integument
• some collagen fibrils show irregular contours and a slight increase in fibril diameter in P50 skin with irregular fibril contour, but not increased fibril diameter, persisting at 15 weeks
|
• skin exhibits increased extensibility at high strain, but not low strain, at 15 weeks of age indicating reduced skin stiffness
|
• tensile strength of skin is reduced about 48% compared to wild-type skin
