• increased gonocytes after birth with decreased gonocyte apoptosis
|
reproductive system
N |
• contrary to previous reports, no hyperplasia of the prostate is observed
(J:64426)
• mice exhibit normal numbers of Sertoli and Leydig cells and level of testicular testosterone production
(J:105626)
|
• increased gonocytes after birth with decreased gonocyte apoptosis
|
• despite normal follicle development, the corpus lutea are scarce or absent
|
• despite the fertility of male mice, female mice exhibit reduced fertility to infertility
• however, female genital tract morphology is normal
|
skeleton
N |
• mice exhibit normal bone mineral content in the lumbar spine and hind leg and normal bone area and bone mineral density in the midfemur
|
short ulna
(
J:123373
)
• slightly
|
• mice exhibit lower volumetric bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and distal femur compared with wild-type mice
|
• unloaded and loaded ulna from female mice exhibit increased bone formation measurements compared with wild-type mice
|
• female mice exhibit increased bone stiffness and mechanical loading compared with wild-type mice
• however, male mice exhibit normal bone stiffness and mechanical loading
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• unlike in previous studies, IGF-I levels are normal
|
• when treated with gonadotropins to induce superovulation, half of mice failed to ovulate and the other half exhibited reduced yields compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice because follicles reach a preovulatory stage but fail to mature
|
• ovariectomized mice treated with 17beta-estradiol exhibit delayed wound healing with increased neutrophil infiltration compared with control mice
|
renal/urinary system
N |
• contrary to previous reports, no hyperplasia of the urinary bladder is observed
|
