(

)
• some mice start to show a decline in overall activity after 12 months of age, showing reduced movements and difficulty walking
|
hematopoietic system
• extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen, with hematopoietic elements, increased megakaryocytes with hyperchromatic nuclei, increased hemosiderin deposits and signs of fibrosis
• however, no hepatomegaly or microscopic abnormalities in the liver are seen
|
• bone marrow cells show dyserythropoietic features including nuclear budding or nuclear irregularity
• occasionally ring sideroblasts are seen in the bone marrow
|
• mice tend to have lower red blood cell levels at 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 months but statistically significant difference is seen at 11 and 12 months
|
• mice tend to have lower hemoglobin levels at 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 months but statistically significant difference is seen at 11 months
|
• mice exhibit higher mean corpuscular volume at 6 to 12 months of age, indicating macrocytic anemia
|
• platelet counts increase at 6 months until 12 months of age with a significant difference at 10 months
|
• spleen shows expansion of the red pulp
|
immune system
• spleen shows expansion of the red pulp
|
reproductive system
• fertility of breeding pairs drops dramatically after 6 months of age and no progeny is produced by mice of this age or older
