immune system
• numbers of microglial cells 23% lower than controls after epileptic stimulation
|
• two hours post i.v. lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge serum levels are 5 fold higher than controls, however, TNF kinetics and activity are not altered
|
• decreased pulmonary neutrophil accumulation in response to intranasal instillation of M. faeni as compared to control, however monocyte and lymphocyte levels are comparable to control
|
• exhibits resistance to a lethal LPS dose plus hepatoxin D-gal (increases sensitivity to LPS)
|
• lower levels of Il5, Il12, Il13, and Ifn-gamma in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid
• reduced numbers of T-alpha,beta cells in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid
|
• 100% of mice succumb to a sublethal dose of Listeria monocytogenes 4 days post-infection
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• 63% loss of striatal dopaminergic neurons in MPTP model of Parkinson's disease (controls lose 70%)
|
• two hours post i.v. lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge serum levels are 5 fold higher than controls, however, TNF kinetics and activity are not altered
|
hematopoietic system
• numbers of microglial cells 23% lower than controls after epileptic stimulation
|
liver/biliary system
• reduced oval cell response to a choline deficient diet and ethionine in the drinking water
|
neoplasm
• development after DMPA/TPA treatment is reduced
|
• lower incidence of tumors after 9 months on a choline deficient diet and ethionine in the drinking water
|
nervous system
• numbers of microglial cells 23% lower than controls after epileptic stimulation
|
• 63% loss of striatal dopaminergic neurons in MPTP model of Parkinson's disease (controls lose 70%)
|
• 25% increase in the number of BrdU+ mature neurons in the dentate subgranular zone/granule cell layer
|
• increased glutamate currents
|
respiratory system
• lower levels of Il5, Il12, Il13, and Ifn-gamma in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid
• reduced numbers of T-alpha,beta cells in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid
|
• fail to develop airway hyper responsiveness after "OVA" sensitization
(J:120174)
|
• peak inspiratory pressure is not affected by 2 hours of high stretch ventilation whereas controls experience rapid increases after 80-90 minutes
|
integument
• development after DMPA/TPA treatment is reduced
