|
nervous system
• mice treated with tamoxifen exhibit vacuoles in multiple brain regions, including cortex, white matter, hippocampus, and brain stem
• vacuoles are filled with membranous debris at both myelinated axons and nonmyelinated naked axons but not in the neuron bodies
|
• diffuse vacuolar leukoencephalopathy in the white and gray matter throughout the CNS of tamoxifen treated mice
• vesicles are double-membraned, suggesting elevation in autophagy and mitochondrial abnormalities in axons of the brain
• however, no evidence of apoptosis or glycogen accumulation is seen in the brain
|
growth/size/body
• heart enlargement after tamoxifen administration
