respiratory system
• in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
mortality/aging
• moribund as early as 3 days post tamoxifen treatment
• 75% of mice die 9 days after tamoxifen treatment
• mice treated with a low dose of tamoxifen exhibit increased death associated with tumorigenesis
|
digestive/alimentary system
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit increased cell proliferation in the intestinal epithelium compared with control mice
|
• loss of architecture in tamoxifen-treated mice with reduction in numbers of differentiated cells, cells showing dysplastic nuclear atypia, widespread crypt elongation, increased crypt fission and reduction in villous length
|
• in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit a decrease of Alcian Blue positive goblet cells compared with control mice
|
• reduced numbers in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
• elongated in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
• altered distribution in tamoxifen-treated mice

• in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
• in 6 of 16 tamoxifen-treated mice, 2 of which are adenomas with high-grade dysplasia and 2 are invasive adenocarcinoma
• 5 of 6 tumors are located in the caecum
|
neoplasm
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit increased incidence of tumorigenesis, including lymphomas/leukemias and solid tumors (angiosarcoma, gastrointestinal adenoma, gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma and lung carcinoma)
|
• in 6 of 16 tamoxifen-treated mice, 2 of which are adenomas with high-grade dysplasia and 2 are invasive adenocarcinoma
