mortality/aging
• despite the delay in disease progression, lifespan is similar to transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
|
nervous system
• gliosis and microglial activation in the spinal cord at 90 days of age are reduced compared to transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
• however, by the end stage of the disease, gliosis and microglial activation are similar to transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
|
• significant delay in motor neuron loss compared to transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
• however, in older mice with end stage disease motor neuron loss in not different from transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• unlike transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3, no decrease in stride length is seen even at 120 days of age
|
• decline in paw grip endurance beginning at 98 days of age compared to 77 days of age in transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
|
growth/size/body
weight loss
(
J:130581
)
• body weight begins to significantly decrease at 105 days of age compared to 77 days of age in transgenic mice wild type for Bbc3
