|
• about 20% of mice die over a period of 1 year
• death occurs either suddenly or is preceded by general weakness, dyspnea, and lack of food and water intake
|
|
• myocardium shows many necrotic cardiomyocytes showing loss of myofibrils and nuclear destruction
• shape of the nuclei in myocytes is often altered, showing numerous deep indentations
• however, hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes is not seen
|
|
• abnormal myofibril organization in cardiomyocytes and myofibrils are thinner
|
|
• swelling of cardiomyocytes, absence of compaction of the myofibrils and loss of myofibrils resulting in a relative increase of intervening sarcoplasm and a more dispersed arrangement of mitochondria, and necrolysis in cardiomyocytes
|
|
• enlarged hearts, with all 4 chambers dilated
|
|
• abnormal myofibril organization in cardiomyocytes and myofibrils are thinner
|
|
• activity of the respiratory chain complex I and complex II are reduced in diseased hearts, indicating mitochondrial dysfunction
|
|
• intracavitary thrombi are present in the atria and/or ventricles
|
|
• myocardium shows many necrotic cardiomyocytes showing loss of myofibrils and nuclear destruction
• shape of the nuclei in myocytes is often altered, showing numerous deep indentations
• however, hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes is not seen
|
|
• abnormal myofibril organization in cardiomyocytes and myofibrils are thinner
|
|
• swelling of cardiomyocytes, absence of compaction of the myofibrils and loss of myofibrils resulting in a relative increase of intervening sarcoplasm and a more dispersed arrangement of mitochondria, and necrolysis in cardiomyocytes
|
|
• cardiomyocyte myofibrils often show reduced sarcomeric length
|
|
• M lines of cardiomyocyte myofibrils are poorly defined
|
|
• Z lines are occasionally duplicated in cardiomyocyte myofibrils
|
|
• enlarged hearts, with all 4 chambers dilated
