mortality/aging
• the gender ratio was slightly but significantly skewed at birth with fewer females being born than males
|
nervous system
• neuronal density is significantly reduced in the motor cortex at 10 and 26-27 months of age
• by 26-27 mo of age, motor cortex thickness is reduced significantly
|
• neuronal density is significantly reduced in the motor cortex at 10 and 26-27 months of age
|
• signs of mild neurodegeneration are seen such as an increase in the number of condensed cells at 10 months of age
|
hematopoietic system
• increased apoptosis in response to DNA damaging agents (cisplatin, doxorubicin, etoposide and gamma-irradiation)
|
immune system
• increased apoptosis in response to DNA damaging agents (cisplatin, doxorubicin, etoposide and gamma-irradiation)
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• both MEFs and thymocytes show increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents including, cisplatin, doxorubicin and etoposide
|
cellular
• both MEFs and thymocytes show increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents including, cisplatin, doxorubicin and etoposide
• however, no difference in the apoptotic response to UV treatment, TNFalpha treatment, or IL-2 withdrawal is detected
|
• both MEFs and thymocytes show increased sensitivity to gamma irradiation induced apoptosis
|
• increased apoptosis in response to DNA damaging agents (cisplatin, doxorubicin, etoposide and gamma-irradiation)
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• increased apoptosis in response to DNA damaging agents (cisplatin, doxorubicin, etoposide and gamma-irradiation)
