mortality/aging
• only a rare number of mice survive past 5 weeks after dox treatment, with some rare survivors living at least 100 days
• more than 50% of mice show prolonged survival after dox treatment in hypoxia compared to mice in normoxia which usually die 4 weeks after treatment
|
growth/size/body
• mice show increased fat body mass 2-3 weeks after dox treatment at 2-4 months of age
|
weight loss
(
J:284745
)
• dox-treated mice exhibit weight loss
• the health crisis seen 4 weeks after dox treatment is preceded by a brief period of weight loss
• however, feeding is normal
|
behavior/neurological
• mice show progressive decline in rotarod performance following dox-treatment
|
• mice show more than 50% reduction in forelimb grip strength at 25 days following termination of dox treatment
|
• mice show decreased rearing shortly after dox-treatment
|
• mice show a decline in spontaneous motor and exploratory activity level as they become moribund at around 25 days post dox-treatment
• mice show reduced total activity and reduced day and night ambulation 2-3 weeks after dox treatment
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• serum succinate levels are elevated in dox-treated mice
• however, corticosteroid levels are unchanged following dox treatment
|
• serum glucose levels are lower at 28 days following dox treatment
|
• serum insulin levels are lower at 28 days following dox treatment
|
• serum creatine kinase is elevated in dox-treated mice, indicating muscle damage
|
• mice show reduced resting, active, and total energy expenditure 2-3 weeks after dox treatment
|
• muscle lactate levels are increased in dox-treated mice indicating muscle lactic acidosis
|
adipose tissue
• mice show increased fat body mass 2-3 weeks after dox treatment at 2-4 months of age
|
cellular
• mice treated with doxycycline (dox) show decreases in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolites citrate, isocitrate, and 2-ketoglutarate in muscle
• the succinate:2-ketoglutarate ratio is increased in tissues of dox-treated mice
|
muscle
• muscle lactate levels are increased in dox-treated mice
• mice treated with doxycycline (dox) show decreases in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolites citrate, isocitrate, and 2-ketoglutarate in muscle
• however, serum lactate levels are not increased after dox treatment
|
neoplasm
N |
• the few mice that live at least 100 days after dox treatment show no signs of paraganglioma
