mortality/aging
• 23% of females and 44% of males in the F3 generation died prematurely, of indeterminate cause
|
growth/size/body
• female mice are obese relative to wild-type and Serpine1-deficient single mutant controls
|
• 63% of males in F3 generation are runts with body weight ranging from 20-40 grams compared to 60-100 grams for littermates not displaying runt phenotype
|
renal/urinary system
albuminuria
(
J:127478
)
• present with slightly higher urinary albumin to creatinine ratios relative to Lepr single homozygotes
|
• total kidney collagen is increased in females by 47% compared to female single Serpine1-deficient animals
|
• glomerular extracellular matrix (ECM) areas are reduced 10% in females compared to female single Serpine1-deficient animals; however, when expressed as fractional glomerular ECM area, little difference is observed between any genotype
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• significantly higher BUN levels compared to Serpine1-deficient single mutants
|
• hyperglycemia is less severe than observed in Serpine1-sufficient, Lepr-deficient controls at 10, 14, and 34 weeks of age
|
albuminuria
(
J:127478
)
• present with slightly higher urinary albumin to creatinine ratios relative to Lepr single homozygotes
|
• total urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) activity is significantly higher than wild-type compared to Serpine1-sufficient diabetic controls
