liver/biliary system
|
• livers show increased prominence of the vascular subcapsular markings, with appearance of a punctate pattern rather than a meshwork vascular pattern, in mice older than 6 months
|
|
• scattered bleeding into necrotic and nonnecrotic liver areas with age
|
|
• necrosis and bleeding into necrotic and nonnecrotic areas becomes highly prominent with age
|
|
• liver shows a mononuclear chronic inflammatory infiltrate which is nonregionalized and patchy with areas of necrosis
• however, Mallory body formation is not seen, and no differences in white cell, platelet, or red blood cell counts or other serum chemistry are seen
|
|
• collagenase liver perfusion of young mice at an early stage when inflammation and necrosis are mild results in significant cell death indicating hepatocyte fragility
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• elevation in serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase
|
|
• elevation in serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
|
cardiovascular system
|
• livers show increased prominence of the vascular subcapsular markings, with appearance of a punctate pattern rather than a meshwork vascular pattern, in mice older than 6 months
|
|
• scattered bleeding into necrotic and nonnecrotic liver areas with age

immune system
|
• liver shows a mononuclear chronic inflammatory infiltrate which is nonregionalized and patchy with areas of necrosis
• however, Mallory body formation is not seen, and no differences in white cell, platelet, or red blood cell counts or other serum chemistry are seen
