|
• survival rate of 83% at time of weaning
|
integument

• intestinal blockages appear to be composed of an inspissated mixture of food material and possibly mucus
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• crypts of Lieberkuhn are dilated
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• primary airway epithelial cells cultured at the air liquid interface show a very minimal response to forskolin, indicating that no CFTR channels are opening in response to the drug
|
