mortality/aging
• on a choline and methionine-deficient powder diet supplemented with ethionine (CDE), designed to induce acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, mortality is about 70% after 5 days on the diet compared to 27% in B6 controls
|
immune system
• after 3 days of CDE diet, some cytokines are upregulated in pancreas of some affected mice
|
• inflammatory cell infiltrate is observed after 2-3 days of CDE diet
• liver abnormalities are reversed by 4 days of normal diet
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• after 5 days, massive necrosis of pancreatic acini is seen, similar to treated wild-type
• in severely affected pancreata after 5 days of CDE diet, acini with enlarged lumen are observed at greater frequency than in wild-type
|
• after 3 days on the CDE diet, pronounced vacuolarization of acinar cells is observed, but not in controls or other mutant lines
|
liver/biliary system
• inflammatory cell infiltrate is observed after 2-3 days of CDE diet
• liver abnormalities are reversed by 4 days of normal diet
|
• observed after 2-3 days of CDE diet, along with large vacuole formation and remains unchanged afterwards
• liver abnormalities are reversed by 4 days of normal diet
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after 66 hours of CDE diet, amylase aplasma concentrations are 4 fold higher compared to wild type; amylase concentrations are significantly higher than in double mutants
• highest amylase levels are observed after 4 days of CDE diet
|
• after 66 hours of CDE diet, lipase plasma concentrations are 10 fold higher compared to wild type
|
• after 3 days of CDE diet, some cytokines are upregulated in pancreas of some affected mice
|
digestive/alimentary system
• after 5 days, massive necrosis of pancreatic acini is seen, similar to treated wild-type
• in severely affected pancreata after 5 days of CDE diet, acini with enlarged lumen are observed at greater frequency than in wild-type
|
• after 3 days on the CDE diet, pronounced vacuolarization of acinar cells is observed, but not in controls or other mutant lines
