Gross appearance of aortic arches of Apoe^tm1Bres/Apoe^tm1Bres, Plg^tm1Jld/Plg^tm1Jld and Apoe^tm1Bres/Apoe^tm1Bres Plg^tm1Jld/Plg^tm1Jld mice

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:42927 )

• only about 50% survive beyond 20 weeks of age

growth/size/body

abnormal body weight ( J:42927 )

• exhibit a larger decrease in body weight after 2 months of age than single Plg homozygotes

cardiovascular system

atherosclerotic lesions ( J:42927 )

• exhibit accelerated formation of and more extensive intimal lesions compared to single homozygous Apoe mutants

• lesions contain fibrinogen deposits

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased circulating HDL cholesterol level ( J:42927 )

• small reduction in HDL cholesterol

Allelic Composition	Apoe^tm1Bres/Apoe^tm1Bres Fn1^tm1Bwg/Fn1^tm1Bwg
Genetic Background	involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6

Find Mice

Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Apoe^tm1Bres mutation (11 available); any Apoe mutation (145 available)
Fn1^tm1Bwg mutation (1 available); any Fn1 mutation (129 available)

♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

cardiovascular system

decreased susceptibility to atherosclerosis ( J:90917 )

• on a high fat high cholesterol diet double homozygous mutants have reduced lesion area compared to Apoe^tm1Bres homozygotes

homeostasis/metabolism

abnormal cholesterol homeostasis ( J:90917 )

• the cholesterol content of foam cells increases less in response to acetylated LDL compared to Apoe^tm1Bres homozygotes

decreased circulating VLDL cholesterol level ( J:90917 )

• fasting VLDL cholesterol levels after maintenance on a high fat diet are decreased compared to Apoe^tm1Bres homozygotes
