digestive/alimentary system
• chymotrypsin and elastase activities are lower in feces, indicating impaired pancreatic exocrine function, however observe no morphological differences in the pancreas
• pancreatic acini are about 100 times less responsive to secretagogue (cholecytoskinin) stimulation, indicating impaired stimulus-secretion coupling in the pancreas
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• exhibit increased susceptibility to pancreatic injury (induced by cerulein to block secretion and induce acinar cell stress and experimental pancreatitis)
|
• chymotrypsin and elastase activities are lower in feces, indicating impaired pancreatic exocrine function, however observe no morphological differences in the pancreas
• pancreatic acini are about 100 times less responsive to secretagogue (cholecytoskinin) stimulation, indicating impaired stimulus-secretion coupling in the pancreas
|
behavior/neurological
• enhanced non spatial learning
• exhibit superior relearning, though equal first-day retention, on the Lashely III maze
|
• perform better in passive avoidance with 92% of mice not re-entering the dark compartment as opposed to 50% of wild-type, but only on the first day of testing, as show similar behavior to wild-type on day 2
|
• acquire horizontal-vertical discrimination more quickly
|
• take longer and swim a greater distance to locate the hidden platform during an 8-week Morris water maze retention, indicating impaired spatial learning
|
• exhibit less spontaneous activity in an open filed
