mortality/aging
| N |
• homozygotes are fertile, grow normally, live longer than 1 year and display no overt morphological abnormalities
|
homeostasis/metabolism
| N |
• homozygotes exhibit a normal febrile response to PGE2 and to either IL-1-beta or LPS relative to wild-type mice
|
|
• the gastric hyperaemic response to taurocholate is blocked
• the time to recovery of baseline gastric potential difference after exposure to taurocholate is increased
• however, the decrease in potential difference induced by taurocholate is similar to controls
|
|
• treatment with taurocholate plus acid induces severe lesions in the gastric mucosa with a lesion score 3.2 times higher than in wild-type littermate controls
