endocrine/exocrine glands
• degeneration phenotype is variable, ranging from sloughing into the lumen of the tubule to development of large vacuoles and a Sertoli cell only phenotype with complete loss of germ cells

immune system
reproductive system
• degeneration phenotype is variable, ranging from sloughing into the lumen of the tubule to development of large vacuoles and a Sertoli cell only phenotype with complete loss of germ cells
|
• asynchronous spermatogenesis, with multiple generations of developing spermatids in the same cross-section of the seminiferous tubule
|
• reduced numbers of sperm within the epididymis
|
mortality/aging
• reduced viability postnatally, with reduced numbers by weaning age
|
growth/size/body
• however, cell size in organs is normal
(J:262901)
• runting at postnatal stages
(J:270036)

cellular
• reduced numbers of sperm within the epididymis
|
• in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
