mortality/aging

neonatal lethality, complete penetrance ( J:50772 )

endocrine/exocrine glands

absent magnocellular neurosecretory cells ( J:50772 )

abnormal pituicyte morphology ( J:50772 )

• absence of axonal projections from the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei results in more densly packed pituicytes in the posterior lobe of the pituitary

• average number of cells in midsagittal sections of the pituitary are reduced by about 50%

nervous system

abnormal diencephalon morphology ( J:50772 )

• paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nuclei are hypocellular

• terminal differentiation of neurons in both nuclei fails

absent magnocellular neurosecretory cells ( J:50772 )

abnormal pituicyte morphology ( J:50772 )

• absence of axonal projections from the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei results in more densly packed pituicytes in the posterior lobe of the pituitary

abnormal white adipose tissue morphology ( J:70586 )

• white adipose tissue cells are histologically normal

increased white adipose tissue amount ( J:70586 )

• increased mass of white fat due to increased number of cells

behavior/neurological

polyphagia ( J:70586 )

• food intake increased around 4-5 weeks of age
