hematopoietic system

anemia ( J:81902 )

• mild anemia

abnormal hemoglobin ( J:81902 )

• the oxygen dissociation of red blood cells shows low affinity for oxygen in vitro

homeostasis/metabolism

increased carbon dioxide production ( J:81902 )

• produce more carbon dioxide in room air and hypoxic conditions

increased oxygen consumption ( J:81902 )

• consume more oxygen in room air and hypoxic conditions

• consume more oxygen in skeletal muscles by oxidative phosphorylation

hyperoxia ( J:81902 )

• enhanced tissue oxygenation

increased aerobic running capacity ( J:81902 )

• run 2.5 times as far as wild-type mice spontaneously on a running wheel

muscle

abnormal skeletal muscle fiber type ratio ( J:81902 )

• show no fiber hypertrophy or atrophy

• on histochemical staining for ATPase, show a higher percentage of type IIA fibers and a lower percentage of type IIB fibers in deep regions of the muscle

cellular

abnormal aerobic respiration ( J:81902 )

• succinate dehydrogenase activities in both type IIA and type IIB muscle fibers are greater in deep regions of the tibialis anterior compared to wild-type mice
