reproductive system
N |
• female mice exhibit normal fertility
|
• many sperm exhibit heads that are bent and wrapped around the next
• spermatozoa from the cauda epididymis lack cytoplasmic droplets
• however, capacitation ability is intact
|
• thinning
• with a sharp bend in half of spermatozoa
|
• at the thinned annulus region
|
• progressive spermatozoa exhibit reduced velocity compared with wild-type cells
|
• total and progressive spermatozoa motility is reduced compared with wild-type cells
|
• male sterility
|
• impaired ability of sperm to fertilize oocyte in vitro
|
