cardiovascular system
|
• increase in thickness of pulmonary valve leaflets at E18.5
• however, no obvious anomalies in the atrioventricular valves, mitral or tricuspid valves
|
|
• mice with accelerated aortic velocity show an increase in left ventricular mass
|
|
• first signs of left ventricular concentric hypertrophy are seen at 3 months of age
|
|
• relative surface of the aortic valve is increased
• the number of interstitial cells of the aortic valve is increased on average of 1.97 times
• increase in the intercellular space throughout the leaflets compared with controls
• the extracellular matrix layers of the aortic valve are expanded
• disorganization of the extracellular matrix, with a decrease of collagen deposition, increased proteoglycan deposition, and dispersion of elastin fibers in the distal thickened region of the aortic valve leaflets
|
|
• dysmorphic and enlarged aortic valve leaflets, with thickening restricted to the distal tip of the leaflets
|
|
• 4 of 11 mice exhibit acceleration of aortic velocity suggesting an increase in aortic stroke volume and/or an obstruction across the aortic valve caused by thickened leaflets
|
|
• aorta shows flow reversal in 100% of 3 month old mice
