mortality/aging
• animals die a few days after birth (J:208)
• most die within a few days or weeks of birth, however a few reach adulthood (J:5439)

growth/size/body

hematopoietic system
• anemic at birth
• mean potential life span of erythrocytes is reduced
• erythropoiesis is decreased in the liver
• complete regression of hepatic hemopoiesis occurs at about 4 days after birth compared to 10 days in controls
• seen at birth

immune system

reproductive system
• reduced number of germ cells starting at E12-E13
• eventually ovaries become tubular adenomas
• almost no spermatogenesis is seen in adult testes
• survivors are almost completely sterile (J:22618)

neoplasm
• eventually ovaries become tubular adenomas

vision/eye
• older survivors (beyond 6-8 months) frequently develop eye opacities

skeleton
• older survivors (6-8 months) become kyphotic

integument
• older survivors (6-8 months) lose their hair completely

cellular
• reduced number of germ cells starting at E12-E13

endocrine/exocrine glands
• eventually ovaries become tubular adenomas
