cardiovascular system
|
• increase in number of small and reduction in number of large cardiomyocytes
• increase of mononucleated and a decrease of multinucleated cardiomyocytes
|
|
• reduction in size of cardiomyocytes
|
|
• increase in the number of cardiomyocytes in 5 week old hearts
• however, size and left ventricular mass of hearts is normal
|
|
• slight, but significant, increase in heart weight to tibia length ratio
|
|
• increase in levels of cardiac stress markers ANP and BNP
• however, no cardiac fibrosis is seen
|
|
• lower ejection fraction of both the right and left ventricles
|
|
• increase in end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes in mice and lower ejection fraction of both the right and left ventricles
|
|
• mice exhibit a decline of ejection fraction and increase of end-systolic volume 3- and 6- months after transverse aortic constriction (TAC) indicating impaired response to pressure overload
• marker analysis indicates increased cardiac remodeling in hearts after TAC
• however, no effect on left ventricular mass after TAC is seen

muscle
|
• after muscle degeneration resulting from cardiotoxin injection,myofiber regeneration is slower
• smaller diameter at 7 days, similar to 3 day controls
• fiber diameter more heterogeneous
• 14 day animals similar to controls except for increased variability in fiber diameter
• delayed differentiation of myoblasts in culture
• no signs of muscular atrophy or dystrophy or cardiac pathology up to 1 year of age
|

N |
• nuclear morphology was normal and other nuclear envelop proteins are normally distributed
