gastric cyst
(
J:179090
)
• glandular and parietal, increasing in size and number with age
|
mortality/aging
N |
• mice have a normal lifespan
|
hematopoietic system
N |
• mice exhibit normal leukocyte numbers and morphology
|
• in the spleen
|
• severe anemia occurs between 10 and 20 months of age
• however, anemia in mice fed a high-iron diet or a HCL-acidified drinking water is rescued
|
• in the bone marrow and spleen
|
• however, red blood cell indices are normalized by HCL-acidified drinking water
|
• compensatory erythropoiesis
|
• not rescued by transplantation of wild-type bone marrow
|
• until 8 weeks of age
• not rescued by transplantation of wild-type bone marrow
|
• not rescued by transplantation of wild-type bone marrow

anisocytosis
(
J:179090
)
• in some mice
|
• until 8 weeks of age
|
• due to extramedullary hematopoiesis
|
• resistant to osmotic lysis
|
digestive/alimentary system
• indurated and enlarged

gastric cyst
(
J:179090
)
• glandular and parietal, increasing in size and number with age
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• when fed an iron-deficient diet, mice exhibit reduced iron absorption compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice fed a regular diet exhibit normal iron absorption
|
• however, serum iron levels are rescued by HCL-acidified drinking water
