mortality/aging
• exposure to cadmium was lethal for all male and 2 out of 3 female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination compared to no male and only 1 female (out of 4) death in mutants without the cre transgene
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• exposure to cadmium was lethal for all male and 2 out of 3 female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination compared to no male and only 1 female (out of 4) death in mutants without the cre transgene
|
• cadmium exposure resulted in cell degeneration and necrosis in the liver, lung, and pancreas in all male mutants and some of the female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination
|
• transgenic mice after induction of cre accumulate less cadmium in the liver and kidneys compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
|
immune system
• transgenic mice after induction of cre have one third of the number of white blood cells compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
|
• the lymphocyte population in particular is severely reduced in transgenic mice after induction of cre compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
|
hematopoietic system
• transgenic mice after induction of cre have one third of the number of white blood cells compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
|
• the lymphocyte population in particular is severely reduced in transgenic mice after induction of cre compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
