mortality/aging
• all mice die by 2 months of age and 50% die within 36 days after birth
|
cardiovascular system
• enlarged hearts with dilation of the ventricular chambers
|
• dilation and thinning of ventricular walls is seen at 3 weeks of age
|
• left ventricle wall thickness is reduced
|
• fractional shortening is decreased
|
• mice exhibit slowed ventricular conduction
|
• PR interval is longer
• however, no arrhythmias are detected in mice
|
• mice die from progressive cardiac failure and not sudden death
|
growth/size/body
• enlarged hearts with dilation of the ventricular chambers
|
• before death, mice are smaller, have labored breathing and roughened fur, and are cyanotic
|
homeostasis/metabolism
muscle
• fractional shortening is decreased
