liver/biliary system
|
• 6 of 7 mice exhibit multiple gray-whitish nodules approximately 1 mm long unlike in wild-type mice
• male mice exhibit coagulative necrosis, sinusoidal dilatation, and congestion in the liver unlike wild-type mice
• 5 of 7 female mice exhibit degenerative changes and perinuclear vacuoles in the liver unlike wild-type mice
• at 9 months, livers exhibit degenerative changes and perinuclear vacuoles unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
• sinusoidal dilatation in male mouse livers
|
|
• sinusoid congestion in male mouse livers
|
|
• at 11 weeks
|
|
• at 4 weeks, 11 weeks, and 9 months, liver weights are increased compared to in wild-type mice
• however, 4 week old mice have normal liver weights
|
|
• 3 of 7 male mice exhibit increased glycogen accumulation in the cytoplasm compared to in wild-type mice
• 5 of 7 female mice exhibit increased glycogen accumulation in the cytoplasm and sinusoids of the liver compared to in wild-type mice
• PAS staining revealed that two-thirds of mice exhibit increased accumulation of liver glycogen levels compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• coagulative necrosis in male mouse livers
|
|
• at 17 months, mice develop fatty nodules in the liver unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
• in 43% of female mice
|
|
• 7 of 7 female mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a mean age of 20.1 months that are multifocal and in different lobes
• 3 of 6 male mice develop HCC with a mean age of 21.6 months that are unifocal and mainly found in the left hepatic lobe
• at 17 months, mice develop fatty nodules in the liver unlike in wild-type mice
• the mean number of tumor nodules per mouse is 2.3 in male mice and 8 in female mice
|
|
• degenerative changes are observed in the liver of 5 of 7 female mice
• at 9 months, livers exhibit degenerative changes and perinuclear vacuoles unlike in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• serum methionine levels are 1.9- to 2.4-fold greater than in wild-type mice
|
|
