N |
• male mice exhibit normal fertility
|
• in infertile mice
|
• in mice with decreased fertility
|
• atretic follicles and primary and secondary follicles fail to reach the periphery of the ovary unlike in wild-type mice
|
• despite the presence of vaginal plus, 5 of 9 mice are infertile unlike wild-type mice
|
• 4 of 9 mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• in infertile mice
|
• in mice with decreased fertility
|
• atretic follicles and primary and secondary follicles fail to reach the periphery of the ovary unlike in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• luteinizing hormone basal levels are higher than in wild-type mice, values fail to surge with the estrous cycle, and peak levels are 18-fold lower than in wild-type mice
|
• peak levels are 18-fold lower than in wild-type mice
|
• basal luteinizing hormone serum levels are 4-fold higher than in wild-type mice
