cardiovascular system
• hearts show structural abnormalities along with mitochondrial proliferation in ventricular myocardium
• hearts exhibit lipid deposition
• cardiomyocytes exhibit T-tubule enlargement
• however, no myocardial apoptosis, fibrosis, or inflammatory cell infiltrates are seen
• heart shows 11% more cardiomyocytes than controls
• cardiomyocytes exhibit a 23% increase in size
• increase in the number of cardiomyocytes and increase in size of cardiomyocytes with no loss of systolic performance, indicating compensated cardiac hypertrophy
• marker analysis indicates hypertrophic gene expression in hearts
• increase in left ventricle weight-to-body weight ratio by 178%
• increase in the thickness of the left ventricular free wall in 12 week old males
• echocardiography indicates that posterior wall thickness and the total left ventricular mass are increased in 12 week old males
• however, left ventricular end-systolic or end-diastolic diameters, fractional shortening, or systolic blood pressures are not altered
• heart rate is slightly increased in 12 week old males

cellular
• mitochondria are rounded and irregular in hearts
• mitochondria are higher in number in hearts
• hearts show increased activity of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome C oxidase and decreased adenine nucleotide translocator protein expression, indicating increased respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria
• hearts show increased mitochondrial proliferation in ventricular myocardium
• hearts show increased activity of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome C oxidase and decreased adenine nucleotide translocator protein expression, indicating increased respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria

muscle
• cardiomyocytes exhibit T-tubule enlargement
• however, no myocardial apoptosis, fibrosis, or inflammatory cell infiltrates are seen
• heart shows 11% more cardiomyocytes than controls
• cardiomyocytes exhibit a 23% increase in size

growth/size/body
• increase in the number of cardiomyocytes and increase in size of cardiomyocytes with no loss of systolic performance, indicating compensated cardiac hypertrophy
• marker analysis indicates hypertrophic gene expression in hearts
