endocrine/exocrine glands
• in some cases ectopic localization of granulosa cells in the perivitelline space was observed
|
• gross attenuation of the perivitelline space between the egg and the zona matrix
• in some cases ectopic localization of granulosa cells in the perivitelline space was observed
|
reproductive system
• thinning and disorganization of zona pellucida
• larger fenestrations in the zona pellucida
• eggs with both normal and distorted zonae were ovulated, but only eggs with intact zonae progressed to the 2-cell stage, and implanted in the uterus

• normal ovulation
• increased number of sperm bound to zona relative to wild-type
|
• 80% of females were fertile
|
• fertile females gave birth litters approximately half the normal size
