mortality/aging
• average lifespan is 109 days post tamoxifen injection

nervous system
• widespread microgliosis in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age
• accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in cerebellar lobule X in tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age
• progressive anterior-to-posterior Purkinje cell loss in tamoxifen-treated mice
• cells in anterior lobules degenerate early and those in posterior lobules are more resistant to degeneration
• widespread astrocytosis in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit swollen axons in the cortex at 22 weeks of age
• widespread axonal spheroids in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit demyelination in the corpus callosum at 22 weeks of age
• widespread secondary demyelination in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age

behavior/neurological
• mice injected with tamoxifen at 6 weeks of age exhibit impaired balance beam performance by 12 weeks which progresses with age

growth/size/body
• mice injected with tamoxifen at 6 weeks of age start to lose weight around 16 weeks of age

hematopoietic system
• widespread microgliosis in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in cerebellar lobule X in tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age

immune system
• widespread microgliosis in the cerebellum of tamoxifen-treated mice at 18 weeks of age
