immune system
• increased numbers of polymorphonuclear cells found in Peyer's patches
|
• increased numbers of osteoclasts per unit area of bone surface
|
• shows hemorrhaging
|
• grossly enlarged after infection with gram negative bacteria
|
• increased amounts of Il12p40 produced by macrophage when challenged by either gram negative or gram positive bacteria
|
• increased amounts produced by macrophage when challenged by either gram negative or gram positive bacteria
|
• increased amounts produced by macrophage when challenged by gram negative bacteria
|
• decreased tolerance to endotoxin
|
• enhanced innate immunity
• bacterial load not greatly increased in spleens of mice with bacterial infections
|
• bone marrow macrophage have a reduced proliferation rate but fuse more rapidly
• osteoclasts are generated more rapidly and have more prolonged life spans
|
skeleton
• increased numbers of osteoclasts per unit area of bone surface
|
• bone marrow macrophage have a reduced proliferation rate but fuse more rapidly
• osteoclasts are generated more rapidly and have more prolonged life spans
|
• decreased diameter of the femur in both sexes
|
• lower cortical bone content at 4 months of age in the femur
|
• cortical thickness of the femur reduced in males
|
• increased numbers of osteoblasts seen in males
|
• trabecular bone content at epiphyses reduced
|
• 60% reduction in trabecular bone volume
|
growth/size/body
• by 4 months of age
|
hematopoietic system
• increased numbers of polymorphonuclear cells found in Peyer's patches
|
• increased numbers of osteoclasts per unit area of bone surface
|
• bone marrow macrophage have a reduced proliferation rate but fuse more rapidly
• osteoclasts are generated more rapidly and have more prolonged life spans
|
limbs/digits/tail
• decreased diameter of the femur in both sexes
