mortality/aging
• mice survive between 13 and 28 days after the first day of tamoxifen injection
|
cardiovascular system
• hearts appear increasingly flaccid by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
|
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 7 weeks of age exhibit an increase in heart size by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
|
• tamoxifen treated mice show thinning of the ventricular walls
|
• tamoxifen treated mice show dilatation of the right and left ventricular chambers with thinning of the walls and myocardial cells
|
• interstitial myocardial fibrosis in tamoxifen-treated hearts
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show diminished heart contractility with ejection fraction only 11% vs. 64% in controls and fractional shortening of 4.77% vs. 33.88% in controls
|
• echocardiography indicates increased left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension, and decreased fractional shortening and ejection fraction in tamoxifen treated mice
