This produced the same pressure gradient across the constriction and the same rise in B-type natriuretic peptide expression. Young mice showed acute deterioration in systolic function assessed by pressure-volume loops, progressive LV remodeling on echocardiography, and a 50% mortality at 12 weeks post-TAC. In contrast, aging mice showed no acute deterioration in systolic function, much less ventricular remodeling and were protected from death. Aging mice also showed significantly increased levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3; 3.2 fold increase, P<0.001) and MMP-12 (1.5-fold increase, P<0.001), which were not seen in young mice. Expression of tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) increased 8.6-fold in aging hearts vs 4.3-fold in young hearts (P<0.01). In conclusion, following size-appropriate TAC, aging mice exhibit less LV remodeling and lower mortality than young adult mice. This is associated with induction of protective ECM changes.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:22:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25166 Thu 03 Feb 2022 12:22:19 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32517 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:44:00 AEST ]]>
