mortality/aging
• median survival of fourth generation mice is 43.5 weeks compared with 86.8 weeks for wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen lengthens survival
|
reproductive system
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reduces testes germ cell apoptosis
|
small testis
(
J:167227
)
• in fourth generation mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment normalizes testis size
|
• fourth generation male mice produce smaller litters than wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment normalizes litter size
|
nervous system
• neurospheres from fourth generation mice are rare and smaller in diameters compared with wild-type cells
• fourth generation mice exhibit decreased proliferation of cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores neurosphere morphology and numbers and proliferation within the SVZ
|
• neural stem cell cultures from fourth generation mice exhibit decreased self-renewal activity compared with wild-type cells
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores self-renewal capacity
|
• in fourth generation mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit improved brain weight
|
• white matter of the corpus callosum in fourth generation mice exhibit fewer mature oligodendrocytes than in wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice normalizes oligodendrocyte numbers
|
• white matter of the corpus callosum in fourth generation mice exhibit fewer mature oligodendrocytes than in wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice normalizes oligodendrocyte numbers
|
• fourth generation mice exhibit thinner myelin sheathing compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice reverses hypomyelination
|
cellular
• splenocytes from fourth generation mice exhibit Robertsonian fusions unlike wild-type cells
|
• splenocytes from fourth generation mice exhibit short and dysfunctional telomeres compared with wild-type cells
• however, treatment of fibroblasts with tamoxifen lengthens telomeres

• however, treatment with tamoxifen reverses early senescence
|
taste/olfaction
