cardiovascular system
abnormal vascular endothelial cell morphology ( J:205741 )
• lung endothelia contain very few caveolae with more shallow endothelium membrane invagination
• adipose endothelium contains fewer caveolae than in wild-type mice
• however, calveolae in the heart and muscle are normal
