endocrine/exocrine glands

small ovary ( J:93303 )

small testis ( J:93303 )

growth/size/body

increased susceptibility to age related obesity ( J:93303 )

• adult onset obesity is seen in both males and females

renal/urinary system

small penis ( J:93303 )

reproductive system

small ovary ( J:93303 )

small testis ( J:93303 )

small penis ( J:93303 )

small uterus ( J:93303 )

nervous system

abnormal neuron morphology ( J:93303 )

• in adults, a 30% to 50% reduction in gonadotropin releasing hormone-positive neurons and a reduction in the projecting axons of these neurons in the median eminence and arcuate nucleus is seen

• this reduction is most pronounced in the preoptic region

nervous system

decreased neuron number ( J:199640 )

• Pomc+ neurons at 15 to 21 weeks in the medial preoptic area and posterior hypothalamus

increased neuron number ( J:199640 )

• Pomc+ neurons in female mice at 3 and 6 weeks in the medial preoptic area, posterior hypothalamus and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus with ectopic neurons in the medial mammillary nucleus

• however, the numbers decline after 9 weeks with the onset of puberty

ectopic neuron ( J:199640 )

• ectopic Pomc+ neurons in female mice at 3 and 6 weeks in the medial mammillary nucleus

nervous system

abnormal neuron morphology ( J:93303 )

• at E14.5, 16.5 and E18.5 a 30%, 35%, and 73% reduction, respectively, in gonadotropin releasing hormone-positive neurons is seen, however initial proliferation of these neurons is normal

• an almost complete absence of the projecting axons of these neurons in the median eminence is also seen
