mortality/aging
• following PTZ-induced seizures
|
• median survival is 115 days with no mice surviving past 175 days with no wounds or major pathology to explain sudden death
|
nervous system
• shorter latency to seizures induced by PTZ and increased death
• however, duration of seizures is normal
|
• in two mice
|
• in one mouse
|
• median survival is 115 days with no mice surviving past 175 days with no wounds or major pathology to explain sudden death
|
astrocytosis
(
J:260943
)
• thicker and disorganized in layer V cortical neurons
|
• enlarged and dysplastic neurons with abnormal cytoplasmic accumulation
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• unlike constitutive knock-out mice, conditional knock-out mice do not exhibit a hunchback phenotype
|
• hindlimb clasping after 60 days of age
|
• shorter latency to seizures induced by PTZ and increased death
• however, duration of seizures is normal
|
• in two mice
|
• in one mouse
|
growth/size/body
• in male, but not female, mice from the time of weaning and persisting through adulthood
|
megacephaly
(
J:260943
)
homeostasis/metabolism
• following PTZ-induced seizures
|
skeleton
• with decreased neuronal density in deep layers
