growth/size/body
• spleen weight and spleen to brain ratio are increased
|
hematopoietic system
• spleen weight and spleen to brain ratio are increased
|
• the induction of erythrocyte hyperplasia when placed on an iron deficient diet is delayed compared to wild-type mice
|
• decreased hemoglobin content but normal hematocrit
|
• mean corpuscular hemoglobin is decreased on a normal chow diet
• the recovery time for mean corpuscular hemoglobin to return to baseline after 8 weeks on an iron deficient diet is increased compared about 2-fold to wild-type mice
|
• mean corpuscular volume is decreased on a normal chow diet
• the recovery time for mean corpuscular volume to return to baseline after 8 weeks on an iron deficient diet is increased about 2-fold compared to wild-type mice
|
• abnormal red blood cells with small, evenly spaced protrusions (spiculocytes) are observed
|
• increase in the range of red blood cell size and presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells
|
• abnormal red blood cells with nucleic acid remnants (Howell-Jolly bodies) are observed
|
leptocytosis
(
J:106905
)
• abnormal red blood with a darkly stained center surrounded by a pale area (target cells) are observed
|
microcytosis
(
J:106905
)
• decreased percentage of mature erythroid precursors and enrichment of nucleated, immature cells in the red pulp
|
• erythrocytes are more resistant to lysis in hypotonic solutions compared to wild-type cells
|
immune system
• spleen weight and spleen to brain ratio are increased
|
• decreased percentage of mature erythroid precursors and enrichment of nucleated, immature cells in the red pulp
