cardiovascular system
• myocytes show significant heterogeneity in size
|
• the heart weight/body weight ratio is 1.6-fold greater than in wild-type female littermates
|
• exhibit left ventricle hypertrophy that is slightly less marked in females than males, however systolic ventricular function is normal
|
• infarct size after coronary ligation is reduced by about 50% compared with controls
