growth/size/body
• by 3 months of age tamoxifen treated mice show increased organ weight to body weight ratios
|
• following tamoxifen treatment at P1-P5
• difference in weight increases progressively with age reaching approximately a 40% decrease by 6 months of age
|
renal/urinary system
• decreased junctional density in tamoxifen treated mice, possibly secondary to edema
|
• wider spaces at 6 months of age in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• modest decrease in WT-1+ podocyte densities in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• increased glomerular volume in tamoxifen treated mice at 6 months of age
• in tamoxifen treated mice glomerular endothelial cells become swollen and subendothelial thickening is seen
|
• glomerular loops show reduced fenestrae in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• expression analysis indicates reduced ENOS activity in renal microvasculature from tamoxifen treated mice at 3 months of age
|
• elevated albumin to creatinine ratio in the urine in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• progressive, age-related dysfunction in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• in tamoxifen treated mice at 6 months of age
|
• tubulointerstitial edema in tamoxifen treated mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• increased wet weights of multiple tissues, including the kidneys, liver, lung, and heart in tamoxifen treated mice
|
cardiovascular system
• glomerular loops show reduced fenestrae in tamoxifen treated mice
|
• decreased junctional density in tamoxifen treated mice, possibly secondary to edema
|
• increased Evans Blue dye extravasation from kidney vessels in tamoxifen treated mice
