Vascular defects in syx / mouse. A and B, CT image reconstructions of WT and syx / mouse arterial coronary vasculature (A) and kidney arterial vasculature (B). C, Lectinlabeled sections of WT and Syx / myocardium. D, Capillary density in WT and syx / myocardia. Capillaries were counted in 4 sections, six 360360 m fields per section (P10 6 ).

... tomography (CT) of WT and syx / mice. Both the coronary ( Figure 4A) and kidney ( Figure 4B) arterial systems of the syx / mice were sparser than those in the WT mouse. On close examination, these systems appeared to be deficient in small diameter vessels, but the major coronary and kidney arteries were intact. ...

... the CT technique cannot image capillaries due to the viscosity of the contrast medium, we probed sections of WT and syx / myocardia by histochemistry. The images clearly showed that the density of capillaries in the syx / was significantly lower than in the WT myocardium ( Figure 4C). Together with the CT images, these results demonstrate that the syx / mouse harbors a vascular defect affecting multiple organs. ...
