mortality/aging
• some pups generated from male Sirt1tm1.1Bpr homozygotes crossed with female Sirt1tm1.1Bpr heterozygotes die around birth
|
• two-thirds of mice die shortly after birth
|
reproductive system
N |
• males and females can be fertile
|
• even during pregnancy, ductal morphogenesis is impeded
|
growth/size/body
endocrine/exocrine glands
• mammary gland development following pregnancy is highly variable ranging from a lack of any ductal structure to a fully developed ductal network
• in pregnancy-induced mammary gland development, alveolar morphogenesis is inadequate
• mammary tissue exhibits increased cell proliferation and apoptosis during late pregnancy and lactation resembling mid-pregnancy levels in wild-type
• successive pregnancies do not improve mammary gland morphogenesis
• however, estrogen treatment restores mammary gland morphogenesis
|
• mice have impeded ductal morphogenesis
• in pregnancy-induced mammary gland development, terminal end buds are club-shaped transitional structure
|
• even during pregnancy, ductal morphogenesis is impeded
|
• severe deficit in milk production
|
