mortality/aging
• some male mice die of uroschesis at 12 to 15 months
|
digestive/alimentary system
N |
• at 16 weeks, mice exhibit normal bowel motility and eating and defecation functions
|
• gradual disruption with age
|
• dilated at 8 months resulting in cecum transposition
|
• infiltration of inflammatory cells in the mucosal lamina propria and subglandular area at 8 months
|
• enlarged lumen diameter at 8 months
|
• increased ileal muscle layer at 8 months
|
• enlarged lumen diameter at 8 months
|
• enlarged lumen diameter at 8 months
|
• at 8 months
|
• gradual impairment starting at 4 weeks
|
• infiltration of inflammatory cells in the mucosal lamina propria and subglandular area at 8 months
|
muscle
• increased calcium sensitivity
|
• enhanced developed forces of jejunum or ileum smooth muscle in response to KCl and/or acetylcholine
• enhanced contraction of the bladder, portal vein and small arteries from the mesentery in response to KCl
• modified contractile properties of permeable smooth muscles following calcium-mediated activation
• jejunum and ileum muscle strips exhibit reduced shortening velocity during the initial phase of contraction compared with control muscle strips
• abnormal contractile properties of isolated smooth muscle cells
|
• gradual impairment starting at 4 weeks
|
• arrhythmic activities without typical spike potentials in intestinal smooth muscles
|
renal/urinary system
• enlarged diameter with thinner muscle layer thickness in male mice
|
• some male mice die of uroschesis at 12 to 15 months
• retention of urine in the bladder at 8 month
|
cardiovascular system
growth/size/body
• protruding lower abdomen in male mice at 6 months
• distended alimentary tract at 8 month
|
• enlarged diameter with thinner muscle layer thickness in male mice
|
immune system
• infiltration of inflammatory cells in the mucosal lamina propria and subglandular area at 8 months
