growth/size/body
• reduced body size, even at birth
|
• growth rate about 15% slower than normal
|
cardiovascular system
• exhibit significantly reduced carotid artery intimal hyperplasia in response to vascular injury and fewer intimal smooth muscle cells
|
• reduced neovascularization of implanted melanoma cells
(J:46091)
• thickness of choroidal neovascular membranes was 31% lower than normal after treatment with krypton lasers
(J:81029)
|
• left ventricular diameters did not increase as much after infarction as they did in controls
|
• better survival in the first 7 days after myocardial infarction than controls (90% survival as compared to 61%)
|
• exhibit impairment of smooth muscle cell migration through a gelatin-coated membrane towards a chemoattractant and in a wound assay
|
immune system
• earlier onset and increased severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced by immunization with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein
|
• inflammatory cell infiltration and granulation tissue seen in response to implanted melanoma cells but to a lesser extent than in controls
|
• increased T-cell transmigration through the brain endothelium, dependent on the increased expression of Mmp9 seen in lymphocytes
|
neoplasm
• reduced tumor development after implantation of melanoma cells
|
nervous system
• increased T-cell transmigration through the brain endothelium, dependent on the increased expression of Mmp9 seen in lymphocytes
|
muscle
• exhibit impairment of smooth muscle cell migration through a gelatin-coated membrane towards a chemoattractant and in a wound assay
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• better survival in the first 7 days after myocardial infarction than controls (90% survival as compared to 61%)
