nervous system
• thin and sparse layer in the absence of doxycycline
• fewer glomeruli in the olfactory bulb in the absence of doxycycline
• loss of glomeruli in the dorsal region in the absence of doxycycline
• however, doxycycline treatment from E1 through P28 rescues the number of glomeruli and loss of glomeruli in the dorsal region
• shorter along the rostro-caudal axis at 4 weeks in the absence of doxycycline
• smaller area around the eminence of the bulb over the transition to the olfactory tract in the absence of doxycycline
• in the absence of doxycycline, single-unit spontaneous firing rate in olfactory receptor neurons is increased compared with control mice
• however, doxycycline-treatment restores normal firing rate

mortality/aging
• approximately 20% of mice die suddenly with no ante-mortem indication of illness within 60 days after high dose tamoxifen treatment

cardiovascular system
• ablation of sinoatrial node cells following tamoxifen treatment that varies depending on tamoxifen dose
• tamoxifen induced ablation of sinoatrial node cells is accompanied by a destructive fibrosis of nodal tissue
• following 5 days of tamoxifen treatment show alternating periods of slow and fast frequencies in R-R tachograms
• alterations of long electrical standstills (sinus pauses) and intermittent rapid atrial activity following tamoxifen treatment
• following 5 days of tamoxifen treatment absolute value of the maximally (isoprenaline) stimulated heart rate remained low
• following 5 days of high or low dose tamoxifen treatment heart rate falls by about 40 - 50% or 12%, respectively
• variety of cardiac rhythm disturbances; including sino-atrial arrhythmia, sino-atrial pause and to a minor extent supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, following tamoxifen treatment
• complete heart block some weeks after tamoxifen treatment
• following tamoxifen treatment
• progressive prolongation of the P-R interval tends to result in complete isolated contraction of atria and ventricles with high dose tamoxifen treatment

muscle
• ablation of sinoatrial node cells following tamoxifen treatment that varies depending on tamoxifen dose
