reproductive system
N |
• female fertility is similar to controls
|
• in many sperm the distal part of the midpiece is stiff resulting in an abnormal beating pattern
|
• reduction in total motility correlates to a reduction in the percentage of sperm displaying progressive motility
• significant reduction in the percentage of sperm displaying rapid forms of progressive motility
|
• show a 16.1% reduction in the number of sperm showing any form of motility
|
• males are sub-fertile
• however, testes weight and sperm production and histology are similar to controls
|
• decrease in the percentage of sperm that undergo progesterone-evoked acrosome reaction
• percentage of sperm undergoing acrosome reaction correlates with residual gene expression
