• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 8 weeks exhibit increased hepatocyte proliferation

bile duct proliferation ( J:215915 )

• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 8 weeks exhibit bile duct proliferation

increased liver weight ( J:215915 )

• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 8 weeks exhibit an increased liver to body weight ratio

liver fibrosis ( J:215915 )

• mice fed a regular diet exhibit portal fibrosis

• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 8 weeks exhibit portal fibrosis that is more severe than in single Abcb4 homozygotes

cholestasis ( J:215915 )

• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 8 weeks develop a severe cholestatic phenotype with severe liver damage

• Allelic Composition: Abcb4^tm1Bor/Abcb4^tm1Bor; Pemt^tm1J/Pemt^tm1J
• Genetic Background: involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6 * FVB/N

liver/biliary system

liver/biliary system phenotype ( J:175015 )

N • the liver damage that is seen in single Abcb4 homozygotes is attenuated with livers showing fewer hepatocytes with irregular nuclear polymorphism, less focal necrosis with formation of eosinophilic bodies, less portal inflammation, and less cholangitis

digestive/alimentary system

abnormal feces composition ( J:175015 )

• bile acid disposal on feces is increased compared to single Abcb4 homozygotes

abnormal intestine physiology ( J:175015 )

• bile acid uptake in the ileum is decreased compared to single Abcb4 homozygotes and this impaired re-absorption of bile acids is due to lower concentration of sodium in the ileal segment of the small intestine

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased circulating alanine transaminase level ( J:175015 )

• plasma alanine transaminase activity is about 70% lower than in single Abcb4 homozygotes

decreased bile salt level ( J:175015 )

• concentration of bile acids in the plasma is about 50% lower than in single Abcb4 homozygotes

• bile acid content in livers is lower than in single Abcb4 homozygotes

• pool size of bile acids is reduced compared to single Abcb4 homozygotes

homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:100491 )

N • plasma sitosterol and campesterol levels are normal

decreased intestinal cholesterol absorption ( J:100491 )

increased circulating alanine transaminase level ( J:100491 )

increased circulating aspartate transaminase level ( J:100491 )

liver/biliary system

abnormal bile composition ( J:100491 )

• bile cholesterol levels are decreased compared to in wild-type mice

digestive/alimentary system

decreased intestinal cholesterol absorption ( J:100491 )

abnormal feces composition ( J:100491 )

• fecal acidic sterol levels are decreased 30% compared to in wild-type mice
