nervous system
• at 19 days of age only 20.2% of normal levels of Npy+ soma are present in the arcuate nucleus, the Npy+ cell bodies are clustered aberrantly within and adjacent to the median eminence, and lack Npy+ processes that normally extend towards and into the paraventricular nucleus or dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus
|
hematopoietic system
• platelets from homozygotes appear smaller and 17.5% contain large vacuoles, although electron microscopy shows only normal morphology and numbers of dense and alpha granules
|
• after activation with thrombin, platelets from homozygotes have decreased levels of P-selectin on the surface compared with heterozgyous or wildtype controls

homeostasis/metabolism
