phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• males exhibit decreased body weight at 10 and 14 days of age but not at 10 days indicating decreased postnatal growth
• treatment with copper does not affect body weight

pigmentation

behavior/neurological
• mild ataxia in 10 day old mice

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• urate oxidase activity in the liver is normal
• copper content in the small and large intestine is increased
• copper content in the heart is decreased
• copper content in the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem is decreased
• liver copper content is decreased in 7 to 14 day old males (J:1132)
• treatment with copper increases liver copper content (J:1132)
(J:12745)
• cytochrome c oxidase activity in the brain (cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem) and heart is decreased
• however, cytochrome c oxidase activity in the lung, spleen, thymus, intestine, kidney and liver is not affected

digestive/alimentary system
• large intestine weight is lower in 10 day old mice
• copper treatment increases large intestine weight

hematopoietic system
• spleen weight is lower in 10 day old mice
• copper treatment increases spleen weight

liver/biliary system
• liver copper content is decreased in 7 to 14 day old males (J:1132)
• treatment with copper increases liver copper content (J:1132)
(J:12745)

immune system
• spleen weight is lower in 10 day old mice
• copper treatment increases spleen weight

integument

nervous system
