adipose tissue
• increase in size of adipocytes
|
• modest increase in fat pad size
|
hematopoietic system
• myelopoiesis is normal in adults but is defective in neonates
|
• lower levels of granulocytes are produced in response to stimulation with either granulocyte-colony stimulating factor or stem cell factor; also more immature cells are found
|
• neutrophil levels resulting from treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor are considerably lower than in control mice
|
• newborns have fewer Gr-1 granulocytes in the liver
|
• reduced numbers of neutrophiles are found in newborns
|
