Histological sections of adult Fanclgcd/Fanclgcd mouse gonads

endocrine/exocrine glands
• reduced complexity of uterine glands
• only a few corpora lutea are detected at 2.5 and 5 months of age
(J:13553)
• significant absence of developing follicles at 2.5 and 5 months of age (J:21254)
(J:13553)
• 80-90% reduction in mass relative to controls (J:21254)
• hemorrhagic cysts were observed
• 50-70% of the tubules lacked all cells but sertioli, however normal weight and histology of seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, prostate, bulbourethral glands, and preputial glands
• testicular mass was approximately 1/3 that of controls

growth/size/body
• hemorrhagic cysts were observed

homeostasis/metabolism

reproductive system
• sperm counts were 10% of those of wild-type
• depletion evident at 10.25 dpc, when mice had approximatly 1/3 the primordial germ cells as wild-type (J:80424)
• reduced primordial germ cell (PGC) prolifertation
• normal PGC migration
• 50-70% of the tubules lacked all cells but sertioli, however normal weight and histology of seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, prostate, bulbourethral glands, and preputial glands
