immune system
• increase in the size of alveolar macrophages and extensive lamellar inclusion bodies are present in alveolar macrophages and to a lesser extent in peritoneal macrophages
|
• for alveolar macrophages
|
• foam cells are seen in alveoli of lungs, heart, spleen and kidney
|
• foam cells are seen throughout the spleen at 12 months of age
|
• greater than 4-fold increase in weight at 12 months of age
• spleen size is similar to wild-type at 4 months of age
|
• 2-fold increase in total phospholipid content of alveolar macrophages with marked accumulation of phosphethanolamine (PE) and phosphocholine (PC)
• 40% increase in total phospholipid content in peritoneal macrophages
|
reproductive system

• fertile with normal litter sizes
|
respiratory system
• alveolar foam cells are present; however, no significant increase in lung total phospholipid content is seen
|
cardiovascular system
• foam cells are seen throughout the heart at 12 months of age
