mortality/aging
• mice are more sensitive to acetaminophen-induced lethality compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice exhibit normal copper levels
• in acetaminophen-treated mice
• acetaminophen-induced lipid peroxidation is increased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
• neonates exhibit a 60% decrease in hepatic zinc levels compared to in wild-type mice
• at 3 weeks, mice from dams fed a low zinc diet exhibit persistently low kidney and bone zinc levels
• however, kidney zinc levels in neonates are normal
• following administration of zinc, mice exhibit a 100% less zinc accumulation in the liver and pancreas compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• neonates exhibit a 60% decrease in hepatic zinc levels compared to in wild-type mice
• following administration of zinc, mice exhibit a 100% less zinc accumulation in liver compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

renal/urinary system
• regardless of diet zinc content, Bowman's spaces are swollen unlike in wild-type mice
• unlike in wild-type mice, glomeruli remain close to the kidney capsule in mature kidneys at 3 weeks
• mice fed a low zinc diet exhibit a persistence of the glomeruli remaining close to the kidney unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, mice fed a normal diet exhibit normal kidney morphology
