reproductive system
• increase in apoptosis of germ cells, mainly haploid round spermatids, at P17 and P30
|
• sperm are immotile
|
• mature elongated spermatids and spermatozoa are absent unlike in wild-type mice
• overall the spermatogenic process is delayed
• however, early stages of spermatogenesis are normal
|
• the number of spermatozoa is reduced to 10% of wild-type
|
• the few produced sperm have awkward shapes and broken tails unlike in wild-type mice
|
