mortality/aging
• tamoxifen-treated mice infected with influenza virus lose more weight and die within 8 days compared to controls in which 30% survive at the end of the experiments
|
• majority of mice treated with tamoxifen at 10-12 weeks of age for 5 days die within 10 days
|
growth/size/body
weight loss
(
J:311140
)
• mice show more body weight loss than controls after the first injection of tamoxifen
|
behavior/neurological
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit loss of appetite
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit loss of motility
|
digestive/alimentary system
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit more severe dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic injury, with more weight loss, shorter colon length and more severe inflammation
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
small thymus
(
J:311140
)
• thymus is smaller in tamoxifen-treated mice
|
hematopoietic system
small thymus
(
J:311140
)
• thymus is smaller in tamoxifen-treated mice

• tamoxifen-treated mice infected with influenza virus exhibit increased number of neutrophils or alveolar macrophages in the lungs
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice infected with influenza virus exhibit increased number of alveolar macrophages in the lungs
|
• tamoxifen treated mice show a decrease in the number of white blood cells
• however, no effect on numbers of red blood cells or platelets is seen
|
• total number and the percentage of lymphocytes is decreased in peripheral blood cells of tamoxifen-treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a decrease in lymphocytes in the spleen and thymus
• percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes is reduced in lungs of tamoxifen-treated influenza A virus infected mice
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice infected with influenza A virus show decreased natural killer cells in the lungs compared to controls
• tamoxifen-treated mice infected with influenza A show decreased number of IFN-gamma+ and CD107a+ natural killer cells indicating impaired infiltration of natural killer cells and their function in the lung in response to influenza A infection
