reproductive system
• males exhibit disorganization of the seminiferous epithelium, with exfoliation of germ cells and immature spermatids into the tubule lumen
• males exhibit exfoliation of spermatocytes and immature (round and elongating) spermatids into the seminiferous tubule lumen, suggesting altered Sertoli-spermatocyte and Sertoli-spermatid junctions
• all males show mild to moderate degeneration of seminiferous tubules, unlike wild-type control males
• mild alterations include detachment of the germinal epithelium from the basal lamina, vacuolation, and atypical residual bodies
• moderate alterations include disorganization of the seminiferous epithelium, with exfoliation of germ cells and immature spermatids into the lumen
• Leydig cell number is significantly lower than that in wild-type control males with no significant increase in interstitial space
• however, Sertoli cell number is relatively normal
• testicular volume is significantly higher than that in wild-type control males
• however, seminiferous tubule area is relatively normal
• caudal epididymal sperm counts are significantly higher than those of wild-type control males
• males exhibit abnormal spermatids with enlarged heads, suggesting altered junctional dynamics
• males exhibit abnormal spermatid morphology with enlarged heads and atypical residual bodies, suggesting lower sperm quality
• the number of immature (round or elongated) spermatids is significantly higher than that in wild-type control males
• however, the total number of germ cells is relatively normal
• males exhibit abnormal spermatid morphology associated with alterations in spermiation
• when heterozygous males are crossed to wild-type females, the average litter size is ~50% lower than that produced from wild-type males crossed to heterozygous females (4.00 +/- 1.2 versus 8.67 +/- 0.76)
• however, the number of days between litters is not significantly altered
• males are able to reproduce but exhibit significantly fewer pups per litter than wild-type control males

endocrine/exocrine glands
• males exhibit disorganization of the seminiferous epithelium, with exfoliation of germ cells and immature spermatids into the tubule lumen
• males exhibit exfoliation of spermatocytes and immature (round and elongating) spermatids into the seminiferous tubule lumen, suggesting altered Sertoli-spermatocyte and Sertoli-spermatid junctions
