growth/size/body
• males lose weight after 18 months of age

muscle
• 12 and 24 month old males exhibit skeletal muscle atrophy, with a decrease in wet weight of soleus muscle and reduction of calf muscle volume

nervous system
• astrogliosis is seen in the spinal cord in aged, but not 6 month, mice
• the level of ubiquitinated proteins is increased in the ChAT+ motor neurons of spinal cord of 6 month or older males, most of which are in the cytosol

• 30% loss of motor neurons in the lumbar region of the spinal cord at 6 months of age while the motor cortex, especially the primary motor cortex, only shows NeuN+ neuron loss at 24 months of age, indicating that lower motor neurons are affected first and then pathology spreads to the upper motor neurons
• however, males do not show loss of neurons in the dentate gyrus, CA1 or CA3 regions of hippocampus
• 6 month old males show denervation of the neuromuscular junction of soleus muscle which progresses with ageing
• TDP-43+ aggregates appear in the cytosol of spinal cord motor neurons of 12 and 24 month old males and colocalize with ubiquitinated proteins

skeleton
• males start to show kyphosis at around 8 months of age

cellular
• astrogliosis is seen in the spinal cord in aged, but not 6 month, mice
