mortality/aging
• after ovariectomy, female mutants show higher mortality than wild-type or heterozygous controls
|
behavior/neurological
• female ovariectomized mutants exhibit significantly more freezing to the conditioned stimulus (auditory) before the unconditioned stimulus (shock) on day 2 of conditioning than control mice; freezing was significantly greater after shock on day 2 compared to freezing levels on day 1 or to wild-type and heterozygous controls
• male mutants were not tested
|
• female mice show decreased time in center of an open-field chamber compared to controls with lower amount of locomotion relative to controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after ovariectomy, female mutants take longer to heal than wild-type or heterozygous controls
