growth/size/body
• after 4 weeks of age, body weight is significantly lower than that in wild type controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• in vivo glucose kinetics analysis showed that k3, the intracellular glucose phosphorylation rate, is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls in various brain regions (striatum, thalamus, cortex and cerebellum)
• cerebral glucose metabolic rate (rCMRglc), an index of glucose use in the brain, is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls in these brain regions
• at 14 weeks of age, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels and the ratio of CSF glucose value to the blood glucose value are significantly lower than those in wild type controls whereas blood glucose levels are relatively normal
• k3, the intracellular glucose phosphorylation rate, is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls in various brain regions (striatum, thalamus, cortex and cerebellum), indicating increased hexokinase activity

nervous system
N
• mice exhibit normal gross brain histology
• mice exhibit spontaneous visible seizures
• in vivo glucose kinetics analysis showed that k3, the intracellular glucose phosphorylation rate, is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls in various brain regions (striatum, thalamus, cortex and cerebellum)
• cerebral glucose metabolic rate (rCMRglc), an index of glucose use in the brain, is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls in these brain regions
• at 14 weeks of age, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels and the ratio of CSF glucose value to the blood glucose value are significantly lower than those in wild type controls whereas blood glucose levels are relatively normal
• EEG recordings show abnormal wave patterns, epileptic waveforms, and interictal discharges, not observed in wild-type controls
• EEG abnormalities are observed with no obvious epileptic seizures and immobility

behavior/neurological
• on day 2 of a fear-conditioning test, mice show a significantly lower % of freezing than wild-type controls in the conditioning chamber; on day 3, the % of freezing during tone presentation is similar to that in wild-type controls, indicating that only contextual fear conditioning is impaired
• at 10-11 weeks of age, mice exhibit a significantly higher locomotor activity in their home cage during the dark period
• however, locomotor activity is normal during the light period
• mice spend more time awake and less time in NREM sleep than wild-type controls
• mice spend less time in NREM sleep than wild-type controls
• mice exhibit spontaneous visible seizures

cellular
• analysis of in vivo glucose kinetics in the brain showed that k1, the influx rate of glucose, is significantly lower than that in wild-type controls in the striatum, thalamus, cortex and cerebellum

embryo
N
• embryos are viable and appear macroscopically normal at E13.5 and E17.5

homeostasis/metabolism
• glucose levels in CSF of heterozygous mice are lower than those in wild-type controls (26.3 mg/dl vs 74.6 mg/dl)

cellular
• cerebral glucose uptake is decreased compared to wild-type controls

behavior/neurological
• abnormal motor performance in heterozygotes can be seen as early as 4-5 weeks of age and worsens with time (22 weeks of age)
• significant differences are observed between heterozygotes and wild-type animals with respect to motor performance at 14, 18 and 22 weeks of age; heterozygotes 20-30 weeks of age show significant impairments in beam walking compared to wild-type
• heterozygous mice show multiple spontaneous seizures while being observed in free movement

nervous system
• heterozygous mice show multiple spontaneous seizures while being observed in free movement
• glucose levels in CSF of heterozygous mice are lower than those in wild-type controls (26.3 mg/dl vs 74.6 mg/dl)

behavior/neurological
• ataxic gait (J:281292)
• lowered posture during seizures
• immobility (J:133634)
• immobility during seizures; when immobile, mice continuously open their eyes and sometimes move their vibrissae (J:281292)
• slow movement during seizures
• seizures are induced by transferring mice to new environments, such as an unfamiliar home cage or open field
• immobility and convulsive seizures start suddenly with vocalization, ataxic gait, lowered posture, and slow movement
