homeostasis/metabolism
N

• when treated with gonadotropins to induce superovulation, half of mice failed to ovulate and the other half exhibited reduced yields compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice because follicles reach a preovulatory stage but fail to mature

N
• contrary to previous reports, no hyperplasia of the urinary bladder is observed

growth/size/body
• mice exhibit large, hemorrhagic cysts originating from antral follicles

reproductive system
• in the seminiferous tubules
• unlike in wild-type mice, follicles exhibit a marked deficiency in granulosa cells
• the largest antral follicles exhibit very thin walls due to the absence of granulosa cells
• mice exhibit a reduction in the number of glandular interstitial cells compared to wild-type mice and these cells appear loosely arranged as a consequence of edema
• mice exhibit the presence of mast-like cells in the ovaries unlike wild-type mice
• ovaries contain fully differentiated Sertoli cells
• however, female mice do not exhibit an increase in anti-Mullerian hormone
• however, primordial, and primary follicles are normal
• Sertoli cells develop between ovarian follicles after the onset of puberty and appear to arise within the epithelium of atretic follicles
• mice exhibit an excess of follicles at advanced stages of atresia
• the largest antral follicles exhibit very thin walls due to the absence of granulosa cells
