Retinal degeneration in Pde6brd1/Pde6brd1, and Pde6brd1/Pde6brd1 Cry1tm1Asn/Cry1tm1Asn Cry2tm1Asn/Cry2tm1Asn mouse retinas

behavior/neurological
• almost no pupillary reflex in blue light (470-nm)
• some pupillary movement in very bright light, but sluggish
• sensitivity to blue light is about 5% that of mice homozygous for Pde6brd1 only
• arrhythmic circadian rhythms for locomotor activity in constant darkness
• arrhythmic circadian rhythms for locomotor activity in light/dark cycles
• mutants accumulate nearly 40% of their total daily activity during the first 10 hours of the light portion of light-dark 12:12 compared with only 10% of activity during this same period seen with controls, indicating a residual photoresponsiveness in mutants

vision/eye
• almost no pupillary reflex in blue light (470-nm)
• some pupillary movement in very bright light, but sluggish
• sensitivity to blue light is about 5% that of mice homozygous for Pde6brd1 only
• most cones are absent
• nearly complete absence of the outer nuclear layer
• the entire outer retina is destroyed, however the inner retina remains intact

nervous system
• most cones are absent

behavior/neurological
• immediate loss of rhythmicity when switched to constant darkness

adipose tissue
• dramatic decrease in subcutaneous fat mass
• dramatic decrease in visceral fat mass
• total body electrical conductivity is significantly decreased indicating a decrease in total body fat mass
• lipid droplet size is decreased

growth/size/body
• seen from 5 weeks of age on

homeostasis/metabolism
• body temperature remains elevated during the light phase of the day-night cycle
• absence of diurnal rhythms in body temperature under 12 h dark light conditions
• increased oxygen consumption during the light phase
• however, no significant difference is seen in respiratory quotient or carbohydrate consumption compared to wild-type controls
• the peak level of glucose is delayed, maximal blood glucose level is increased, and plasma insulin levels at 15 and 30 min. after glucose challenge are decreased
• plasma glucose levels are significantly lower during an insulin tolerance test
• however, pancreatic insulin secretory response to glucose are similar to wild-type controls

cardiovascular system
• heart rate remains elevated during the light phase of the day-night cycle
• absence of diurnal rhythms in heart rate under 12 h dark light conditions
