reproductive system
• testis morphology appears normal at P7, but by P20 mutants show a reduction in the testis interstitium
• reduction in the numbers of vascular smooth muscle cells in the testis
|
• by p20, mutants exhibit gaps in the spermatocyte layers of the testis cords
|
• reduction in Leydig cells before and during early adolescence
|
small testis
(
J:142042
)
• reduction in testis size is observed by P42
|
• complete loss of spermatogenesis by 10 weeks of age
|
• loss of spermatocytes from the testis cords by P42
