digestive/alimentary system
• there is a 51% decrease in ECL cells found in the stomach
• there is an increased number of H+, K+, ATPase ? cells that may represent a population of developmentally arrested epithelial cells
|
• there is a 43% decrease in the number of somatostatin-producing "D" cells in the stomach and a 53% increase in the number of gastrin-producing "G" cells
• the G/D cell ratio is increased by 198%
|
• there are 32% less parietal cells per gland than is found in wild-type mice
• the distribution of these parietal cells is irregular
|
• the mean fasting stomach pH of mice is 5.2, which is a 63% higher than in age- and sex- matched controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• the mean circulating gastrin level is 612 pmol/L, which is 937% higher than in wild-type mice
