mortality/aging
• 50% of mice die by 10 weeks of age
• however, lethality is partially rescued by anti-oxidant treatment
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit decreased insulin secretion compared with wild-type mice
• however, insulin secretion is partially rescued by anti-oxidant treatment
|
• after fasting
|
• in a glucose tolerance test, mice exhibit impaired glucose uptake compared with wild-type mice
• however, glucose tolerance is partially rescued by anti-oxidant treatment
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• islet cells exhibit mitochondrial abnormalities with increased reactive oxygen species generation compared with wild-type cells
• however, no abnormal islet cell death is observed
