N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• 15-20 fold increase in spleen weight
• expanded erythroid and myeloid cells in spleen

endocrine/exocrine glands
• ENU treatment at 4 and 20 weeks weeks results in T-cell lymphomas in 53% of mice compared to 26% of controls treated at 3 weeks and 10% of controls treated at 20 weeks
• mice with lymphomas do not develop myeloproliferative disease

liver/biliary system
N
• ethanol feeding does not induce liver steatosis
• slightly elevated liver triglycerides with ethanol feeding
• liver weight/body weight ratio does not increase with ethanol feeding as happens with controls
• hepatocellular proliferation after partial hepatectomy normal for first 36 hours
• proliferation is significantly reduced at 48 hours

cellular
• mitosis impaired between metaphase and anaphase
• lower frequency of mitosis in the liver 48 hours after hepatectomy

• neurological deficits are mild
• less edema than in controls
• reduced rate of wound healing
• less collagen deposition
• fewer alpha smooth muscle cell positive myofibroblasts

hematopoietic system
