mortality/aging
• following postnatal tamoxifen treatment (P5-P9), mice die significantly earlier than control mice, with a median survival at 23 weeks of age
|
growth/size/body
• tamoxifen-treated mice gain significantly less weight than controls from 10 weeks of age
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• at 28-67 weeks of age, tamoxifen-treated mice show no significant differences in total SHIRPA scores relative to control mice
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show more electroencephalographic seizure events than controls
• however, no spontaneous clinical seizures are observed
|
nervous system
N |
• at 14-19 weeks of age, tamoxifen-treated mice show only a minor, insignificant decrease in the uptake of L-[3H]glutamate (~15%) and D-[3H]aspartate (~13%) into crude forebrain synaptosomes relative to controls
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show more electroencephalographic seizure events than controls
• however, no spontaneous clinical seizures are observed
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a significantly higher number of automatically detected spike-trains (electroencephalographic seizures) per 20 min of scalp EEG recording relative to controls (18.7 +/- 7.2 vs 1.9 +/- 0.5)
