mortality/aging
• all mice die when given 104 CFU of Listeria monocytogenes compared to all wild-type controls surviving
• at higher doses mice succumb to the infection 2-3 days earlier than controls
• occasionally mothers fail to expulse pups from uterine horns leading rarely to death

reproductive system
• proliferation of male germ cells is significantly decreased compared to controls
• vacuoles filled with cholesterol esters are present within the myoctes
• concentration of cholesterol esters are 32-fold higher at 3 months of age and 66-fold higher at 12 months of age
• 20-30% of 5.5 month old males have abnormal tubules with cellular aggregates clumping in the middle without any spermatozoa
• by 10 months of age, most tubules are empty without any spermatozoa
• Sertoli cells have vacuoles filled with cholesterol esters within in them
• by 12 months of age, seminiferous tubules are degraded from deposits cholesterol
• Leydig cells in mice 3.5 months of age are enlarged
• a significant decline in testis weight is noted starting at 9 weeks of age
• as mice age, testis lose weight and morphology of the glands becomes becomes disrupted by cholesterol deposits
• occasionally mothers fail to expulse pups from uterine horns leading to hind-limb paralysis and rarely to death
• myometrium muscle has lower amplitudes of contraction compared to controls in response to pharmacological levels of oxytocin
• apoptosis of germ cells within seminiferous tubules is more than double that of controls

• when bone marrow is transferred into irradiated Apoe-null mice, bone marrow cells fail to lower total serum cholesterol levels as wild-type bone marrow cells do
• aortas from these mice have 3- to 8-fold more atherosclerotic lesions than Apoe-null mice receiving wild-type bone marrow
• increased atherosclerotic lesions are also observed when mutant bone marrow is transferred into LDLR-null mice
