renal/urinary system
• endocytotic machinery in the proximal tubule is disturbed athough the ability to adjust to dietary phosphate levels is unaffected
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• slight thyrocyte and nuclear hypertrophy but no goiter
|
• slightly reduced thyroglobulin in thyroid follicles but intracellular levels and levels on the apical membrane of thyrocytes are increased
• T4 levels in thyroglobulin are normal or slightly elevated
• free T4 levels unchanged
• TSH levels are elevated but not to the point of statistical significance
|
nervous system
• levels of somatostatin in neurons reduced
• number of neurons expressing somatostatin is reduced
|
behavior/neurological
• poorer performance in a Morris water maze
• after 6 days of training, swim a greater distance to find target than do controls
