growth/size/body
N |
• rates of growth and weight gain in transgenic mice after doxycycline-withdrawalare identical to wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
N |
• pituitary size and pituitary gross morphology in transgenic mice after doxycycline withdrawal are the same as wild-type mice; cell proliferation in the pituitary shows no difference compared to controls
|
reproductive system
N |
• ability of transgenic mice to lactate is not impaired
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• pituitary hormones in transgenic mice after doxycycline-withdrawal show normal distribution patterns compared to wild-type mice; prolactin (PRL) shows a normal distribution pattern before and during pregnancy
