homeostasis/metabolism
• aspartate levels were decreased in the hypothalamus and frontal cortex, but not in the amygdala or hippocampus
|
• gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels were decreased in the hypothalamus and frontal cortex, but not in the amygdala or hippocampus
|
• glutamate levels were decreased in the hypothalamus, but not in the amygdala or hippocampus
|
• proline levels were increased in the hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, and frontal cortex
|
• hyperprolinemia; 7-fold increase in plasma proline levels relative to wild-type littermates, F3 generation
|
growth/size/body
• 2-3 month old males weighed ~10% less than wildtype littermates
|
behavior/neurological
• attenuated sensorimotor gating measured by pre-pulse inhibition
