mortality/aging
• by 6 days following IP tamoxifen treatment (80 mg/kg BW for 5 days), 60% mortality of treated mice is observed

• treatment of mice with oral dose of 160 mg/kg BW per day raloxifene for 21 days resulted in similar recombinase activity as the tamoxifen regimen, but does not cause any cardiac dysfunction; lower (20 mg/kg BW) oral tamoxifen treatment for 21 days does not cause dysfunction
|
• mice die by 6 days post-treatment (80 mg/kg BW IP for 5 days) from severe dilated cardiomyopathy
• oral delivery of 80 mg/kg BW tamoxifen for 7 days does not result in any mortality but treated mice exhibit a significant but reversible dilated cardiomyopathy
|
• 3 days after oral tamoxifen treatment, cardiac depression peaks with fractional shortening decreasing from 61 to 27% and end-diastolic dimension increasing significantly
