reproductive system
N |
• female mice exhibit normal reproductive morphology and fertility
|
• most sperm exhibits head defects and head-to-tail fusions unlike in wild-type mice
• some sperm exhibit a hook-like appearance
• older mice exhibit more severe sperm abnormalities compared with younger mice
|
• a small piece is missing from the midpiece unlike in wild-type sperm
|
• incomplete in some sperm
|
• at 8 to 10 months of age

azoospermia
(

)
• at 8 to 10 months of age, no mature spermatozoa are present in the epididymal epithelium unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at 8 to 10 weeks of age, sperm motility is reduced compared with wild-type sperm
• at 8 to 10 months of age, little to no sperm motility is observed compared with wild-type sperm
