muscle
normal phenotype
• young mice exhibit no detectable abnormality; development, growth rate, behavior, T cell maturation, and fertility appear comparable to controls
|
nervous system
• PNS lesions; prominent in optic nerve and peripheral nerves
|
brain lesion
(
J:74496
)
• CNS lesions; most prominent in regions of the spinal cord and motor tracts
|
• cellular aggregates in white matter of increasing size with age; consisted of hypertrophic astrocytes and microglia associated with demyelinated and shrunken axons
|
• noted in large caliber axons; late onset; progressive with age
|
demyelination
(
J:74496
)
• thin myelin sheaths; some only had myelin debris
|
• reduction in motor nerve conduction; 28% reduction along the ventral root/sciatic nerve
|
cardiovascular system
• reduced neointimal formation 14 days after blood vessel injury
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• reduced neointimal formation 14 days after blood vessel injury
