homeostasis/metabolism
• at 8 months of age, exhibit an accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in the spinal cord (C26:0), adrenal gland (C24:0 and C26:0), and sciatic nerve (C26:0)
|
behavior/neurological
• in rotarod test at 20 months of age
|
• impaired exploratory abilities in the open field test
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• exhibit intralysosomal needle-like cholesterol inclusions in the fascicular cell layer of the cortex and cortico-medullary junction
|
• at 18 months of age, mice exhibit fibrosis of the fascicular cell layer
• mice exhibit intralysosomal needle-like cholesterol inclusions in the fascicular cell layer
|
• at 18 months of age, exhibit fibrosis of the reticular cell layer
|
nervous system
• slight increase in the number and size of microglia at 22 months of age
|
• slight increase in the number and size of astrocytes at 22 months of age
|
astrocytosis
(
J:94583
)
|
• axonal degeneration in the spinal cord and inflammatory infiltrates in cervical and lumbar spinal cord regions
|
• degeneration in the spinal cord, characterized by axonal swelling with accumulation of APP and synaptophysin and abnormal lipidic droplets resulting from myelin debris
• axonal degeneration precedes myelin disturbances
|
• spinal cord axons contain myelin debris
|
• exhibit slowing of motor and sensitive nerve conduction velocities at 20, but not 12, months of age
|
hematopoietic system
• slight increase in the number and size of microglia at 22 months of age
|
immune system
• slight increase in the number and size of microglia at 22 months of age
