growth/size/body

|
reproductive system
• at 1 month of age, degraded oocytes accumulate in the ovaries
|
• granulosa cells display increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis
|
• at 6 months of age, ovaries appear flattened
|
• at 6 months of age, no corpora lutea structures are observed
• however, corpora lutea are detectable at 7 weeks of age
|
• at 7 weeks of age, the average number of primary follicles per ovary is about three quarters of that in wild-type controls
• at 16 weeks of age, the number of primary follicles is significantly lower than in wild-type controls
|
• at P7, the number of primordial follicles is significantly decreased, whereas the numbers of primary and secondary follicles are relatively normal
• at 7 weeks of age, the average number of primordial follicles per ovary is ~1000 relative to >1500 in wild-type controls
• at 10 weeks of age, only a few primordial follicles are detected, indicating a reduced primordial follicle pool
|
• at 7 and 16 weeks of age, the average number of secondary follicles per ovary is significantly lower than in wild-type controls
|
• at 6 months of age, no obvious ovarian follicle structures are observed, except for some cells remnants probably reflecting luteolysis
|
• at 1 month of age, the number of atretic follicles per ovary is significantly higher than in wild-type controls
|
• at P7 and at 7 and 16 weeks of age, the total number of ovarian follicles per ovary is significantly lower than in wild-type controls
• by 16 weeks of age, ovaries contain markedly reduced numbers of all stages of ovarian follicles; the % of primary and secondary follicles are severely reduced
• a progressive reduction in total number of ovarian follicles per ovary is observed from P4 to P157
• however, the number of germ cells is grossly normal at P2

small ovary
(
J:268917
)
• at 6 months of age, ovaries are smaller than in wild-type females
|
• at 6-7 months of age, ovarian weight is ~80% of that in wild-type females
• however, the ovary weight to body weight ratio is similar to that in wild-type females
|
• females show premature depletion of primordial follicle pool and a gradual loss of ovarian follicles of all stages, indicating premature ovarian failure
|
• after superovulation induction in 3-month-old females, the number of ovulated MII stage eggs per mouse is significantly lower than in superovulated wild-type females
|
• when 7-week-old females are mated with wild-type males for ~4 months, the total number of live pups delivered is significantly lower than in control females (277 versus 647), whereas the total number of dead pups is increased (38 versus 5)
|
• females produce significantly fewer pups per litter than wild-type females
|

|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• at 16-22 weeks of age, females show normal serum testosterone and progesterone levels relative to wild-type controls
