endocrine/exocrine glands
• islet area is normal at 4 weeks of age but is decreased by 45% at 11 weeks of age
• beta cells exhibit an increased number of mitochondria
• endoplasmic reticulum in beta cells is distended around swollen mitochondria
• progressive loss of beta cell mass associated with autophagy
• treatment with the glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist, exenatide, does not increase beta cell proliferation or mass in mutants as in wild-type mice
• mice show extensive loss of insulin-positive beta cells at 11 weeks of age
• pancreatic insulin content is reduced in mice by 20% at 4 weeks and by 68% at 11 weeks of age
• beta cells exhibit an increase in autophagosomes, indicating increased autophagy
• mice show a decrease in cell proliferation of beta cells at 4 and 11 weeks of age
• however, level of apoptosis in islets is similar to wild-type levels
• insulin secretion from islets upon either glucose or KCl stimulation in reduced in 4 and 11 week old mutants

cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) mitochondria exhibit structural abnormalities characterized by intra-cristal swelling and reduced electron density in the mitochondrial matrix
• MEF mitochondria exhibit intra-cristal swelling
• electron density of mitochondrial matrix is reduced in MEFs
• beta cells exhibit an increased number of mitochondria
• mice show a decrease in cell proliferation of beta cells at 4 and 11 weeks of age
• however, level of apoptosis in islets is similar to wild-type levels
• response of islets to carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine, a mitochondrial respiration uncoupler, is delayed and the maximum capacity is decreased

homeostasis/metabolism
• insulin secretion from islets upon either glucose or KCl stimulation in reduced in 4 and 11 week old mutants
• glucose stimulation increases oxygen consumption rate by only 1.3-fold in mutant islets compared to 2.1-fold in wild-type islets
• in a glucose tolerance test, mice develop glucose intolerance at 4 weeks of age, characterized by a decrease in insulin secretion in response to glucose stimulation
• however, insulin sensitivity remains normal at 11 weeks of age

Abnormal small intestine morphogenesis in Gadd45gip1tm2Kong/Gadd45gip1tm2Kong Tg(Vil1-cre)997Gum/0 embryos

mortality/aging
• fewer than expected (6 of 52) are found at P1
• fewer than expected (2 of 157) are found at P21
• fewer than expected (16 of 83) are found at E18.5

digestive/alimentary system
N
• no defect in goblet cell differentiation is detected
• slight but significant decrease in the proliferation of small intestinal crypt cells
• at E18.5, expression analysis indicates that enterocyte differentiation is defective with the cells retaining epithelial characteristics
• at E18.5 small intestine absorptive enterocytes show abnormal tufting of the apical brush border
• at E18 small intestine absorptive enterocytes are irregular in shape and size, have heterogeneously stained cytoplasm and disorganized nuclei
• at E18.5 villi are shorter, fewer in number, and abnormally shaped
• at E18.5 enterocytes contain fewer, shorter microvilli at the apical membranes

cellular
• slight but significant decrease in the proliferation of small intestinal crypt cells
