azoospermia
(
J:97190
)
• germ cells are lost through apoptosis and sloughing with many tubules containing only Sertoli cells
|
• at P14 in first spermatogenic wave a build up of leptotene and zygotene spermatocytes is seen with no cells progressing beyond stage IV
• at P70 only leptotene spermatocytes and spermatogonia are present
• the pachytene synaptonemal complex is not seen
|
• the epithelium has a vacuolated appearance
