reproductive system
• female mice fail to successfully carry a litter unlike wild-type mice
• however, female mice fed regular chow with 1% ascorbate successfully breed and wean normal litters
|
skeleton
• cell masses of developmentally arrested immature osteoblasts accumulate in pregnant and unmated female mice, castrated male mice, and mice fed regular chow lacking ascorbate unlike in wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate prevents proliferative response
|
• castrated mice fail to exhibit an increase in osteoblast parameters unlike in wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate and pycnogenol or resveratrol result in elevated osteoblast parameters comparable to those observed in castrated wild-type mice
|
• however, diets with ascorbate preserves nasal turbinate organization
• mice exhibit a disappearance of trabecular bone from the nasal turbinates, which is replaced by proliferating cell masses, unlike wild-type mice
|
• castrated mice exhibit increased osteoclast parameters compared with wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate and pycnogenol result in elevated osteoblast parameters comparable to those observed in castrated wild-type mice
|
• castrated mice exhibit increased osteoclast parameters compared with wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate and pycnogenol result in elevated osteoblast parameters comparable to those observed in castrated wild-type mice
|
• castrated male mice exhibit a greater loss of bone compared with wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate, pyncognerol, or resveratrol restores trabeculae thickness to levels observed in castrated wild-type mice
|
• in pregnant female mice
• however, female mice fed regular chow with 1% ascorbate prevents bone changes
|
• castrated mice fail to exhibit an increase in osteoblast parameters unlike in wild-type mice
• however, diets ascorbate and pycnogenol or resveratrol result in elevated osteoblast parameters comparable to those observed in castrated wild-type mice
|
• pregnant female mice exhibit severe loss of trabecular bone at the growth plates with fractures and callus formation unlike in wild-type mice
• unmated female mice exhibit proliferation of dysplastic mesenchymal cell masses in the long bones, vertebrae, and nasal turbinates compared with wild-type mice
• castrated male mice exhibit resorption of trabecular bones and dysplastic cell masses compared with wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate preserves normal bone organization
|
• in castrated mice

osteoporosis
(
J:164548
)
• pregnant female mice exhibit severe osteoporosis compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit mild age-related osteroperosis, preferentially affecting female mice, compared with wild-type mice
• however, diets containing ascorbate prevents abnormal bone loss
|
• in pregnant female mice
• however, female mice fed regular chow with 1% ascorbate prevents bone changes
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• male mice exhibit a 3.5-fold increase in urinary glucuronate excretion compared with wild-type mice
|
• male mice exhibit a decrease in liver and kidney ascorbate levels compared with wild-type mice
|
renal/urinary system
• male mice exhibit a 3.5-fold increase in urinary glucuronate excretion compared with wild-type mice
