growth/size/body
• mice show slight increase in body weight with increasing age vs wild-type as result of obesity
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• serum levels are elevated in male mutants
|
• serum levels are elevated in female mutants
|
• serum levels are somewhat upregulated in mutants but increase is not statistically significant
|
• serum levels of this marker of bone formation are increased in mutants compared to wild-type littermates
|
• urinary deoxypyridinoline, a marker for bone resorption, is higher in mutants vs wild-type littermates
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• slight testicular hypoplasia of testis (~20%) is observed in male knockouts at 24 weeks of age
|
renal/urinary system
• urinary deoxypyridinoline, a marker for bone resorption, is higher in mutants vs wild-type littermates
|
reproductive system
• slight testicular hypoplasia of testis (~20%) is observed in male knockouts at 24 weeks of age
|
skeleton
• in femora of mutants, there is ~35-40% lower bone mineral content (BMC) of trabecular bones; cortical bones are not affected
|
• at 24 weeks of age, an ~10% reduction in bone mineral density of long bones in male and female Ncoa1tm1.1Haw homozygotes compared to littermates
• mice show a state of high-turnover osteopenia (higher increase in parameters of bone resorption vs parameters of bone formation)
|
• in femora of mutants, there is ~35-40% lower bone mineral density (BMD) of trabecular bones; cortical bones are not affected
|
• at 24 weeks, bone volume (bone volume/tissue volume) is decreased by 30-40% compared to wild-type
|
osteoporosis
(
J:111490
)
• indicated by high turn-over osteopenia at 24 weeks
|
• parameters for bone formation and bone resorption are significantly higher in mutants; bone formation parameters are increased ~30-60% in mutants
|
• bone resorption parameters are increased by ~60-80% in mutants
