Composition
Avptm1Lja/Avp+
Genetic
Background
involves: 129S1/Sv * 129X1/SvJ
Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Avptm1Lja mutation (0 available); any Avp mutation (23 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• seen at 6 months of age

renal/urinary system
• progressive increase in urine volume beginning by 1 month of age

nervous system
• decrease in the number of vasopressinergic neurons beginning at 2 months of age with near total loss by 18 months of age
• expression analysis suggests increased endoplasmic reticulum stress in vasopressinergic neurons

homeostasis/metabolism
• at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age circulating arginine vasopressin levels are decreased
• at 1 month of age following 24 hour water deprivation circulating arginine vasopressin levels are only 20% that of wild-type controls

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• accompanies increased urine output
• increase in water intake is more severe in females than in males
• increase in water intake decreases in ovariectomized females

homeostasis/metabolism
• progressive decline in pituitary arginine vasopressin levels beginning by 1 month of age
• decrease in pituitary arginine vasopressin levels is more severe in females than in males
• progressive decline in urine osmolality beginning by 1 month of age
• decrease in urine osmolality is more severe in females than in males
• decrease in urine osmolality decreases in ovariectomized females

renal/urinary system
• progressive decline in urine osmolality beginning by 1 month of age
• decrease in urine osmolality is more severe in females than in males
• decrease in urine osmolality decreases in ovariectomized females
• progressive increase in urine volume beginning by 1 month of age
• polyuria is more severe in females than in males
• increase in urine volume decreases in ovariectomized females

nervous system
• at 6 and 12 months of age, round inclusion bodies are seen
• the number and size of inclusions increases with age in males, while the size of inclusions increases with age but the number decreases in females
• the number of arginine vasopressin expressing neurons is decreased in females at 12 months of age
• at 1 month of age aggregates are seen in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and to a lesser extent in the nucleus of arginine vasopressin expressing neurons
