• Mitotracker-positive mitochondria are abnormally found in the sperm head surrounding the deformed nucleus instead of the flagellar midpiece, suggesting improper mitochondrial sheath assembly
|
|
|
• Mitotracker staining revealed complete absence of the mitochondrial sheath in the midpiece of sperm tails

|
• Mitotracker-positive mitochondria are abnormally found in the sperm head surrounding the nucleus
|
|
|
• at 2 months of age, sperm heads in the cauda epididymides are round
|
|
|
• acrosome is absent, as shown by the absence of Afaf signal in most germ cells and of acrosome-specific protein ZP3R (aka SP56) in sperm
