• no decrease in the number of Leydig cells is detected
|
• seminiferous tubules contain many germ cells with condensed nuclei probably representing degenerating spermatocytes
|
• no epididymal sperm recovered
(J:92463)
• absence of spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules
(J:166101)
|
• absence of spermatids in the seminiferous tubules

|
• low testis weight
(J:92463)
• average testes weight is less than 1/3 that of wild-type or heterozygous controls
(J:166101)
|
• arrest of spermatogenesis predominantly at pachytene spermatocyte stage
|
• slight but significant decrease in weight
