mortality/aging
• median survival of fourth generation mice is 43.5 weeks compared with 86.8 weeks for wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen lengthens survival

reproductive system
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reduces testes germ cell apoptosis
• in fourth generation mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment normalizes testis size
• fourth generation male mice produce smaller litters than wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment normalizes litter size

nervous system
• neurospheres from fourth generation mice are rare and smaller in diameters compared with wild-type cells
• fourth generation mice exhibit decreased proliferation of cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores neurosphere morphology and numbers and proliferation within the SVZ
• neural stem cell cultures from fourth generation mice exhibit decreased self-renewal activity compared with wild-type cells
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores self-renewal capacity
• in fourth generation mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit improved brain weight
• white matter of the corpus callosum in fourth generation mice exhibit fewer mature oligodendrocytes than in wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice normalizes oligodendrocyte numbers
• white matter of the corpus callosum in fourth generation mice exhibit fewer mature oligodendrocytes than in wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice normalizes oligodendrocyte numbers
• fourth generation mice exhibit thinner myelin sheathing compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice reverses hypomyelination

cellular
• splenocytes from fourth generation mice exhibit Robertsonian fusions unlike wild-type cells
• splenocytes from fourth generation mice exhibit short and dysfunctional telomeres compared with wild-type cells
• however, treatment of fibroblasts with tamoxifen lengthens telomeres
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reduces testes germ cell apoptosis
• neurospheres from fourth generation mice are rare and smaller in diameters compared with wild-type cells
• fourth generation mice exhibit decreased proliferation of cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores neurosphere morphology and numbers and proliferation within the SVZ
• neural stem cell cultures from fourth generation mice exhibit decreased self-renewal activity compared with wild-type cells
• however, tamoxifen-treatment partially restores self-renewal capacity
• of fibroblasts from fourth generation mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reverses early senescence

taste/olfaction
N
• fourth generation mice exhibit grossly normal olfactory epithelium
• fourth generation mice fail to exhibit aversion to 2-methylbuteric acid compared with wild-type mice
• however, tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit improved olfaction

immune system
• fourth generation mice exhibit decreased spleen weight compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen normalizes spleen weight
• with DNA damage

digestive/alimentary system
• fourth generation mice exhibit intestinal crypt cell atrophy compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reverses intestinal crypt cell atrophy

endocrine/exocrine glands
• fourth generation mice exhibit intestinal crypt cell atrophy compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen reverses intestinal crypt cell atrophy
• in fourth generation mice
• however, tamoxifen-treatment normalizes testis size

hematopoietic system
• fourth generation mice exhibit decreased spleen weight compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with tamoxifen normalizes spleen weight
• with DNA damage
