mortality/aging

lethality, incomplete penetrance ( J:191046 )

• Background Sensitivity: display 100% lethality by P2 on a congenic C57BL/6 background unlike mice on a mixed background where about 20-30% of mice survive to 6-7 months of age

cardiovascular system

abnormal capillary morphology ( J:191046 )

• lack diaphragms in endothelial fenestrae, transendothelial channels, and caveolae in pancreas, intestine, kidney, lung and adrenals

increased vascular permeability ( J:191046 )

• leakage of Evans Blue dye is dramatically increased in organs with fenestrated endothelial cells

• leakage of Evans Blue dye is highest in the intestine

homeostasis/metabolism

abnormal circulating lipid level ( J:191046 )

decreased circulating HDL cholesterol level ( J:191046 )

• significantly decreased at 4 weeks of age and does not vary much with time

increased circulating cholesterol level ( J:191046 )

• moderate increase at 4 weeks of age that does not vary much with time

increased circulating triglyceride level ( J:191046 )

• plasma levels are increased 30- to 100-fold from 4 to 8 weeks of age

decreased circulating total protein level ( J:191046 )

ascites ( J:191046 )

• fluid contains albumin and beta globins at similar levels to blood plasma but sharply reduced alpha fractions

growth/size/body

postnatal growth retardation ( J:191046 )

distended abdomen ( J:191046 )

• due to accumulation of ascites

adipose tissue

decreased white adipose tissue amount ( J:191046 )

endocrine/exocrine glands

small pancreas ( J:191046 )
