• as mutants age, no significant differences in thyroid size or weight is observed relative to wild-type
• at 6 months of age, histology is altered; follicular structure is disturbed with few normal follicles remaining
• no increase in thyroid gland weight is observed in 6-8 week-old mice treated with TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) for 1 week, whereas wild-type mice show a 100% increase in thyroid weight; glands in mutants actually decrease in weight due to slight decrease in follicular lumen size
• no increase in thyrocyte number is observed after TSH treatment in contrast to increase seen in wild-type; thryocytes show hypertrophic response to TSH treatment
• after TSH treatment, colloid area is reduced unlike wild-type thyroids
• mutant thyroids show no response to goitrogenic diet, whereas wild-type mice readily develop hyperplastic goiters
• cells are often enlarged, columnar and have large nuclei at 6 months of age
• TSH-induced thyroid hormone release is almost entirely abrogated in mutants
• impaired pinocytic uptake of colloid and reduction in pinocytic vesicle formation in thyroid follicular epithelium upon TSH stimulation is observed in mutants versus wild-type
• after 6 months of age, about half of animals display overt hypothyroidism

homeostasis/metabolism
• beginning at 2 months of age, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) plasma levels start to rise and are significantly higher than wild-type at 6 months of age
• at 6 months, mice show low T4 levels compared to wild-type

• age-dependent reduction in survival due to tonic-clonic seizures

nervous system
• around 3 months of age, mice show spontaneous epileptic seizures; animals affected and seizure number per animal increase with age
• mutants show reduced latency to seizure onset and tendency to have stronger seizures when treated with kainic acid or PTZ than wild-type; seizure-induced lethality is greatly increased
• blockade of cannabinoid receptors does not result in aggravation of kainic acid-induced seizures in mutants but does in wild-type controls
• treatment of mutants with endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor causes a significant amelioration of kainic acid induced seizures
• most seizures are myoclonic
• some animals exhibit tonic-clonic seizures with age
• older animals particularly those with symptomatic epilepsy show neuronal degeneration in CA1 region
• older mice display reactive gliosis in CA1 region of hippocampus
• no CCK4-induced (cholecystokinin receptor2 agonist) current is detected in amygdala slices while inward current response in wild-type is unaffected

behavior/neurological
