mortality/aging
• the occasional offspring produced by homozygous mothers die soon after birth

homeostasis/metabolism
• eggs harvested at ~16 h after hCG administration show abnormally high levels of unesterified cholesterol relative to control eggs, as assessed by filipin staining
• plasma total cholesterol is abnormally high
• most of the cholesterol is found as abnormally large particles
• eggs harvested at ~16 h after hCG administration show abnormally high levels of unesterified cholesterol relative to control eggs, as assessed by filipin staining
• plasma concentrations are 125% of control values
• concentration increase is due to formation of large particles containing apolipoprotein A-1

reproductive system
• some superovulated oocytes have an abnormal morphology
• ~19% of the ovulated eggs harvested ~16 h after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-induced superovulation exhibit an abnormal, nonrefractile morphology typical of dead eggs
• death rate of eggs increases to 53% at 18-19 h post-hCG injection
• an increased number of oocytes exhibit spontaneous meiotic progression beyond metaphase II (MII) arrest at ~16 h (73%) and ~20 h (93%) after hCG-induced superovulation
• most ovulated eggs failing to arrest at MII progress to pronuclear, metaphase III (MIII), and anaphase/telophase III stages and show reduced MPF and MAPK activities
• however, the rate at and extent to which oocytes undergo germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and complete the first meiotic division (first polar body extrusion) are normal
• inactivation of the apolipoprotein A-1 gene or administration of the cholesterol-lowering drug probucol restored fertility (J:73138)
• only occasionally will a pup be born (J:105226)
• inactivation of the apolipoprotein A-1 gene or administration of the cholesterol-lowering drug probucol restored fertility (J:105226)
• female infertility is caused, at least in part, by excess cholesterol in eggs inducing premature egg activation (J:216748)
• ovulated eggs show spontaneous escape from MII arrest, reduced MPF and MAPK activities, and aberrant progression to haploid pronuclear, metaphase III, and anaphase/telophase III stages, similar to normal ovulated eggs after chemical activation
• ~16 h after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-induced superovulation, any remaining viable ovulated eggs are unable to be fertilized or develop into viable pups

hematopoietic system
• mild
• exacerbated on a high cholesterol diet
• red blood cells with cytoplasmic irregularities
• mitochondria present in about 15% of red blood cells
• sometimes

cellular
• some superovulated oocytes have an abnormal morphology
• ~19% of the ovulated eggs harvested ~16 h after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-induced superovulation exhibit an abnormal, nonrefractile morphology typical of dead eggs
• death rate of eggs increases to 53% at 18-19 h post-hCG injection
• eggs harvested at ~16 h after hCG administration show abnormally high levels of unesterified cholesterol relative to control eggs, as assessed by filipin staining

embryo
• in vitro development of zygotes arrests by the 2 cell stage
• the majority of harvested one cell zygotes had an abnormal, nonrefractile morphology

endocrine/exocrine glands
• cholesterol content is 72% lower than normal
