Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Discrepant results for the phenotype of mitochondrial creatine kinase knockout mice (Mt-CK(-/-)) could be due to mixed genetic background and use of non-littermate controls. We therefore backcrossed with C57BL/6J for >8 generations, followed by extensive in vivo cardiac phenotyping. Echocardiography and in vivo LV haemodynamics were performed in independent cohorts at 20-40 weeks and 1 year. No...
