cardiovascular system
• Background Sensitivity: all mice exhibit aortic root aneurisms; aneurisms are much more pronounced on the BALB/c background than on a C57BL/6 background
|
• fibrosis involving the aortic and mitral valves
|
• valve disease manifests mainly as regurgitation, indicated by the presence of a backward aortic blood flow
|
• aortic and mitral valve inflammation
• however, the tricuspid and pulmonary valves are unaffected
|
immune system
• aortic and mitral valve inflammation
• however, the tricuspid and pulmonary valves are unaffected
|
mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: many mice die suddenly between 90 and 160 days of age on the BALB/c background unlike on a C57BL/6 background
