♀ phenotype observed in females
♂ phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
abnormal sterol level ( J:304449 )
• mice exhibit elevated liver, plasma, stool, and biliary levels of desmosterol
• mice exhibit slightly elevated lanosterol levels in the liver
• however, circulating levels of cholesterol are normal, sterol levels in the brains show no differences in cholesterol or desmosterol levels, and no changes in the levels of stool cholesterol are seen
decreased liver cholesterol level ( J:304449 )
• hepatic cholesterol levels are slightly decreased in females

liver/biliary system
abnormal liver morphology ( J:304449 )
• liver shows elevated desmosterol level and slightly elevated lanosterol levels
• however, no differences are seen in liver cell morphology or hepatic lipid accumulation
decreased liver cholesterol level ( J:304449 )
• hepatic cholesterol levels are slightly decreased in females
abnormal bile composition ( J:304449 )
• biliary desmosterol level is increased
• however, no differences in levels of biliary cholesterol, bile acids or biliary phospholipids are seen

digestive/alimentary system
abnormal feces composition ( J:304449 )
• stool desmosterol level is increased

homeostasis/metabolism
abnormal sterol level ( J:304449 )
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a very large increase in plasma desmosterol level
• liver, brain, and heart tissue desmosterol levels are elevated in tamoxifen-treated mice
• however, liver, brain and heart tissue cholesterol levels in tamoxifen-treated mice are normal
decreased circulating cholesterol level ( J:304449 )
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 4-5 weeks of age show an early decline and stable decrease in plasma cholesterol
• however, cholesterol content of liver, brain, and heart is normal

liver/biliary system
abnormal bile composition ( J:304449 )
• bile shows elevated desmosterol levels in tamoxifen-treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice show lower biliary cholesterol level
