mortality/aging
|
• old mice treated with Avertin or 5-fluorouracil exhibit increased mortality compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
|
|
• median lifespan is 96 weeks compared to 118 weeks for wild-type mice
|
|
• mice exhibit some phenotypes associated with premature ageing
• however, mice do not exhibit liver pathologies, hair graying, alopecia, atrophy of intestinal villi, skin ulcerations, amyloid depositions, brain atrophy, joint disease or cataracts
|
respiratory system
|
• one mouse develops a lung adenoma and another a well-differentiated bronchio-alveolar lung adenocarcinoma
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• following treatment with 5-fluorouracil, mice that survive fail to exhibit a robust recovery as do wild-type mice
|
|
• old mice treated with Avertin or 5-fluorouracil exhibit increased mortality compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
|
|
• in old mice
|
neoplasm
|
• one mouse develops a lung adenoma and another a well-differentiated bronchio-alveolar lung adenocarcinoma
|
|
• mice do not develop any life-threatening tumors over the course of their lifespan compared to 45% of wild-type mice
