homeostasis/metabolism

amyloidosis ( J:260683 )

• amyloid deposition is first seen in the alimentary tract at 12 months of age and increases with age; it is first found in the stomach or small intestine and then in the large intestine

• levels of amyloid deposits are higher than in Tg(TTR-V30M)15Imeg/0 mice or mice homozygous for Ttr^tm1Wsb and hemizygous for Tg(TTR-V30M)15Imeg

• amyloid deposition in the heart is seen at 24 months of age, with fewer deposits than in Ttr^tm2(TTR)Kymm/ Ttr^{tm3(TTR*)Kymm} Rbp4^{tm1(RBP4)Zhel}/ Rbp4^{tm1(RBP4)Zhel} mice

• amyloid deposition in the kidney is seen in only the wall of a small vessel of one mouse

cardiovascular system

abnormal heart morphology ( J:260683 )

• 10-30% of mice show TTR+ deposits in the heart and kidneys at 12 months of age, 30-50% of mice at 18 months of age, and 30-100% of mice at 24 months of age

digestive/alimentary system

abnormal small intestine morphology ( J:260683 )

• anti-human TTR+ deposits are seen in all mice in the small intestine at 12 months of age

renal/urinary system

abnormal kidney morphology ( J:260683 )

• 10-30% of mice show TTR+ deposits in the heart and kidneys at 12 months of age, 30-50% of mice at 18 months of age, and 30-100% of mice at 24 months of age
