mortality/aging
• mice show a reduced life span
|
nervous system
• nucleolar integrity is disrupted in dopaminergic neurons, with the percentage of TH+ dopaminergic neurons containing one nucleolus being lower in the substantia nigra and ventral tagmental area and an increase in the percentage of dopaminergic neurons showing no nucleolar staining
• number of dopaminergic neurons containing 2 or 3 nucleoli is higher

• nucleolar activity is altered with downregulation in a subset of dopaminergic neurons while upregulation of rRNA synthesis is seen in another group of dopaminergic neurons suggesting initial compensatory mechanisms
