homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• mice exhibit normal glycemia, glucose tolerance and respiratory exchange ratio
|
• cold-exposed mice exhibit a drop in rectal temperature unlike wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit elevated C4 short-chain acylcarnitine levels compared with wild-type mice
• however, all other short-, medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines and blood amino acid levels are normal
|
• mice exhibit reduced in blood-free carnitine compared with wild-type mice
|
• at 40 weeks, mice exhibit elevated serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels and decreased serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase levels compared with wild-type mice
|
• following injection with noradrenaline, mice fail to exhibit an increase in oxygen consumption above resting levels unlike wild-type mice
|
• isobutyryl-glycine in the urine
|
cellular
• swollen and rounded or elongated and multilamellar
• paracrystalline inclusion bodies in some mitochondria, more so in hepatocytes at 12 weeks
|
• at 12 weeks, stacks of paracrystalline inclusion bodies are observed in a high percentage of mitochondria in hepatocytes
• by 30 weeks, hepatocytes exhibit increased mitochondrial damage in the form of concentric cristae with amorphous matrix and formation of autophagosomes unlike in wild-type mice
|
• loss of cristae
|
• electron dense osmiophilic granules within the matrix
|
liver/biliary system
• at 12 weeks, stacks of paracrystalline inclusion bodies are observed in a high percentage of mitochondria in hepatocytes
• by 30 weeks, hepatocytes exhibit increased mitochondrial damage in the form of concentric cristae with amorphous matrix and formation of autophagosomes unlike in wild-type mice
|
• macrovesicular steatosis with foci of mononuclear cell infiltration at 40 weeks
|
• microvesicular steatosis as early as 4 weeks that progresses to macrovesicular steatosis with mononuclear cells infiltration by 12 weeks
|
renal/urinary system
• isobutyryl-glycine in the urine
