skeleton
• mice show a more severe anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced cartilage degeneration at 4 weeks and 8 weeks than wild-type mice
• type II collagen is decreased in the cartilage compared to wild-type mice following ACLT surgery injury
• ectopic osteophytes are increased, joint surfaces are rough and the joint space is reduced following ACLT surgery injury
|
• mice show more serious osteoarthritis progression at 12 months of age than wild-type mice, with barely any proteoglycan in the cartilage and decreased type II collagen
|
osteophytes
(
J:345338
)
• ectopic osteophytes are increased following ACLT surgery injury
|
growth/size/body
• mice fed a high cholesterol diet gain less weight than wild-type mice
• however, mice show normal body weight on a regular diet

behavior/neurological
• the hot plate test shows that the pain response is more sensitive than in wild-type mice after ACLT surgery
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice fed a high cholesterol diet gain less weight than wild-type mice
• however, mice show normal body weight on a regular diet
|
• mice fed a high cholesterol diet show a greater increase in total cholesterol serum levels than wild-type mice
