growth/size/body
• on a bile salt supplemented diet homozygous mutants lose weight
|
• prior to weaning homozygous pups are growth impaired, however this size difference resolved with age
|
• the liver is slightly enlarged in homozygous mutants
• on a bile salt supplemented diet homozygous mutants develop significantly enlarged livers with increased hepatocyte proliferation
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• on a bile salt supplemented diet serum bilirubin levels are elevated in homozygous mutants compared to wild-type mice
• on a normal diet serum bilirubin levels are normal in homozygous mutants
|
• serum aspartate transaminase is mildly elevated
|
• serum bile salt levels are elevated
• on a bile salt supplemented diet homozygous mutants do not increase the rate of bile salt turnover and therefore develop much higher bile salt levels compared to wild-type mice
|
liver/biliary system
• the liver is slightly enlarged in homozygous mutants
• on a bile salt supplemented diet homozygous mutants develop significantly enlarged livers with increased hepatocyte proliferation
|
• enhanced bile flow and output of the principal bile components
|
• on a normal diet homozygotes do dot develop jaundice or diarrhea and most liver enzyme activities are normal
• on a bile salt supplemented diet liver enzyme activities in homozygous mutants increase
