mortality/aging
• only 15% of mice survive the first week after birth and less than 5% of mice reach weaning
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• intestines contain 25.3+/-1.5 mg triglycerides per gram compared to 15.0+/-1.27 mg/g in wild-type mice
• modified lipids exit from the enterocytes but fail to enter the interstitial lacteal vessels
|
• 119.9+/-36.4 mg/dl compared to 54.9+/-1.0 mg/dl in wild-type mice
|
• 101.6+/-31.3 mg/dl compared to 46.3+/-4.5 mg/dl in wild-type mice
|
digestive/alimentary system
• the lamina propria and submucosa of the small bowel are distended and prominent vacuoles in the jejunal enterocytes are present unlike in wild-type mice
• the gut interstitium is filled with mature chylomicrons unbound by endothelium unlike in wild-type mice
• intestinal capillaries and pother lamina propria elements are compressed by excess liquid unlike in wild-type mice
|
• intestines contain 25.3+/-1.5 mg triglycerides per gram compared to 15.0+/-1.27 mg/g in wild-type mice
• modified lipids exit from the enterocytes but fail to enter the interstitial lacteal vessels
|
growth/size/body
• shortly after birth
|
• mice fail to gain weight after birth
