mortality/aging
N |
• mice are born in normal Mendelian ratios
|
reproductive system
• hypoplastic
|
• mice have few mature graafian follicles
|
• mice exhibit immature endometrial epithelium compared with wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit little glandular development compared with wild-type mice
|

homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• mice exhibit normal fasting glucose and glucose clearance
|
• mice exhibit a tend towards reduced serum insulin levels compared with wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit increased endocrine IGF-I levels compared with wild-type mice
|
• 3-fold from 2 to 16 weeks of age
|
growth/size/body
• at birth, mice are smaller than wild-type mice
• however, body weight is normalized by 2 weeks of age
