mortality/aging
• nearly 100% of mice die within 10 days post weaning
|
cardiovascular system
• lipid vacuoles of differing sizes are seen in cardiomyocytes
• cardiomyocytes show varying mitochondrial abnormalities, with some mitochondria containing lipid droplets and membranous swirls
|
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
|
• size of the heart increases by 22-29 days of age
|
• dilation of right and left ventricular chambers with thinning of the walls and myocardial cells
|
• dilated cardiomyopathy with atrial and ventricular dilatation
|
• at day 29, contractility of heart is diminished with a fractional shortening of 9.47% compared to 41.08% in controls and ejection fraction of 20.7% compared to 74.27% in controls
|
• echocardiography shows increased left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension, decreased fractional shortening, and decreased ejection fraction
|
cellular
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
|
• increase in apoptosis in hearts, with an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cardiomyocytes
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• heart weight/body weight ratio is increased but dry heart weight is decreased, suggesting edematous heart
|
• lung weight/body weight ratio is increased most likely due to pulmonary edema
|
muscle
• lipid vacuoles of differing sizes are seen in cardiomyocytes
• cardiomyocytes show varying mitochondrial abnormalities, with some mitochondria containing lipid droplets and membranous swirls
|
• mitochondrial DNA content is decreased in hearts
|
• dilated cardiomyopathy with atrial and ventricular dilatation
|
• at day 29, contractility of heart is diminished with a fractional shortening of 9.47% compared to 41.08% in controls and ejection fraction of 20.7% compared to 74.27% in controls
|
• increase in apoptosis in hearts, with an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cardiomyocytes
|
• irregularities in Z band pattern
|
respiratory system
• lung weight/body weight ratio is increased most likely due to pulmonary edema
|
growth/size/body
• size of the heart increases by 22-29 days of age
