• in the head, hemorrhages are frequently observed
|
cardiovascular system
|
• aortic root shows a approximate 30% reduction in lesion area and necrotic area compared to Apoetm1Unc Ddit3tm1.1Irt double homozygotes, indicating decreased atherosclerotic plaque progression
• smooth muscle cell content is lower in aortic arch lesions compared to Ddit3tm1.1Irt Apoetm1Unc double homozygotes
• mice on a Western diet show a lower content of alpha-actin-positive vascular smooth muscle cells in the lesions compared to Ddit3tm1.1Irt Apoetm1Unc double homozygotes
• lesions show decreased vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation

homeostasis/metabolism
