renal/urinary system
• higher urine glucose levels than in wild-type, however plasma and urine urea levels are normal
|
• water permeability of the brush-border membrane vesicles from the outer medulla is slightly but significantly lower than that of wild-type, however do not exhibit a urinary concentrating defect
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• higher urine glucose levels than in wild-type, however plasma and urine urea levels are normal
|
reproductive system
N |
• contrary to expectation, 15-wk-old mutant males are fully fertile, with no significant differences in offspring number, testicular weight- and epididymal weight-to-body weight ratios, daily sperm production, sperm motility, sperm morphology and morphometry or in vitro fertilization capacity relative to wild-type males
