N normal phenotype
liver/biliary system
• modest increases in cell death of hepatocytes
• increased proliferation index at 3 months of age as measure by elevated levels of BrdU incorporation
• at 2 months of age, large numbers of small periductal cells are visible that infiltrate the liver parenchyma
• at 3 months of age, small periductal cells surround the hepatic plates
• an irregular arrangement of hepatocytes that obscures the normal radiating pattern of liver sinusoids
• a 2-fold increase in liver mass relative to total body mass at 1 month of age and a 3-fold increase by 3 months of age
• hepatocytes exhibit a "clear cell" phenotype
• tumors are detectable in some mice at 3 months of age and in all mice at 4 months of age
• livers are highly enlarged and have multiple focal tumors visible at 5-6 months of age
• disorganized parenchyma with the majority of the liver exhibiting a dysplastic partially transformed phenotype
• the histopathology of tumor nodules is consistent with a diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• despite morphological liver changes, no increase in serum alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase levels are detected at 2 months of age

cellular
• modest increases in cell death of hepatocytes
• increased proliferation index at 3 months of age as measure by elevated levels of BrdU incorporation

growth/size/body
• a 2-fold increase in liver mass relative to total body mass at 1 month of age and a 3-fold increase by 3 months of age
