Abstract:
:Morphological studies on spontaneous systemic amyloidosis were conducted on 222 senescence-accelerated mice (SAM) (P) and on 150 mice in the senescence-resistant series (R). Among the pathologic findings, amyloidosis showed the highest incidence in both SAM (79.7%) and R (32.7%). Although an extensive deposition of amyloid was evident in some aged mice in the R series, a more severe amyloidosis occurred with a higher incidence in the P series. There was a statistical significance between the incidence of amyloidosis and age, in both the P and R series. There were no differences in organ distribution and mode of amyloid deposition between the P and R series or between the sexes. In about 60% of the amyloid-positive cases in the 28 killed SAM and 7 mice in the R series, there were no signs of inflammation or neoplasm. The morphological features in SAM more closely resembled those seen in cases of murine spontaneous senile amyloidosis than the features seen in cases of experimentally induced amyloidosis. This model is expected to be a valuable tool with which to assess the relationship between amyloid deposition and the aging process or senescence, perhaps even cases of human senile amyloidosis.
