mortality/aging
• 50% of mice die prematurely, most by 16 weeks of age
|
cardiovascular system
• 12 week old mice show a 26% increase in lung/body weight ratio, indicating pulmonary congestion
|
• mice show enlargement of hearts by 8-10 weeks of age
|
• marker analysis indicates overexpression of genes associated with cardiac hypertrophy
|
• mild fibrosis
|
• mice exhibit ventricular dilation and cardiac dysfunction
|
• fractional shortening is decreased by 50-60% at 8 weeks of age
|
• M-mode echocardiography indicates a 50% increase in left ventricular mass to body weight ratio by 8 weeks of age
• left ventricular end diastolic diameter is increased by 35-45%, left ventricular posterior wall thickness is decreased by 26-29% and fractional shortening is decreased by 50-60% at 8 weeks of age
|
• ventricular myocytes isolated from 12 week old mice and stimulated at 0.5 Hz show decreased contractile function, and slightly increased average half-relaxation time
|
• marker analysis indicates overexpression of genes associated with heart failure
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit atrial thrombi
|
muscle
• mice exhibit ventricular dilation and cardiac dysfunction
|
• fractional shortening is decreased by 50-60% at 8 weeks of age
|
respiratory system
• 12 week old mice show a 26% increase in lung/body weight ratio, indicating pulmonary congestion
|
growth/size/body
• mice show enlargement of hearts by 8-10 weeks of age
|
• marker analysis indicates overexpression of genes associated with cardiac hypertrophy
