Abstrakt: We are aware of the age-related changes in the number of Z alpha-1 antitrypsin globules found in the liver of murine models of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and as such, we studied mice only between the ages of 6 and 12 months. This observation leads us to believe that decreases in globules are caused by cellular adaptation to Z alpha-1 antitrypsin disposal rather than down-regulation of alpha-1 antitrypsin gene expression. In our murine models, we have noted a decrease in Z alpha-1 antitrypsin globules while the alpha-1 antitrypsin levels in plasma remain constant as the mice age. [Extracted from the article]
