Morphological changes in the stomach and intestine of Car2n/Car2n and Car9tm1Spas/Car9tm1Spas mice

renal/urinary system
• urine has a more alkaline pH than wild-type when given tap water to drink

respiratory system
• respiratory acidosis

growth/size/body
• 13% of mutants exhibit gastric cysts
• smaller than controls starting not later than at 2 weeks of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• urine has a more alkaline pH than wild-type when given tap water to drink
• respiratory acidosis

skeleton
N
• the prominent osteopetrosis found in humans with carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome could not be detected in mice aged up to 15 months

digestive/alimentary system
• some mutants exhibit intraepithelial lymphocytes in the duodenum
• 50% of mutants exhibit mild gastric pit-cell hyperplasia
• 13% of mutants exhibit gastric cysts
• bicarbonate secretory response of the duodenum to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is completely absent in mutants, however basal duodenal bicarbonate secretion is normal
