mortality/aging
• males begin to die after 20 weeks of age and all die by 60 weeks of age
• breeding females begin to die around 4 weeks of age and all die by 32 weeks of age
|
cardiovascular system
• disarrayed cardiomyocyte architecture with increased mitochondria
|
• increase in intracellular neutral lipid in hearts from 24-hour fasted mice
• 58.9% increase in cholesteryl ester and a 24.7% increase in free fatty acid in hearts
|
• lipid accumulation within myocytes
|
• 4 month old males exhibit enlarged hearts
|
• females exhibit an increase in heart weight
|
• hearts exhibit 54% more VLDL-triglyceride uptake in the absence of heparin and 26% more uptake in the presence of heparin than controls
|
• left ventricular systolic function is impaired
• however, no increase in ventricular wall thickness is seen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• heparinized mice exhibit faster clearance of VLDL from the plasma than single Lpl homozygotes
|
• increase in intracellular neutral lipid in hearts from 24-hour fasted mice
|
• 24.7% increase in free fatty acid in hearts
|
muscle
• disarrayed cardiomyocyte architecture with increased mitochondria
|
• lipid accumulation within myocytes
|
• left ventricular systolic function is impaired
• however, no increase in ventricular wall thickness is seen
|
growth/size/body
• 4 month old males exhibit enlarged hearts
|
• females exhibit an increase in heart weight
