reproductive system
• absence of aggregated mitochondria and associated nuage (intermitochondrial cement)
|
• absence of late meiotic and post meiotic spermatocytes
|
• tubules contain many apoptotic cells, cells containing disorganized chromosomal material, vacuoles suggestive of cell dropouts and cell debris sloughed into the
lumen of the tubules
|
• analysis indicates substantial genomic damage in spermatocytes
|
• all males are infertile
|
cellular
• absence of aggregated mitochondria and associated nuage (intermitochondrial cement)
|
• MEFs display shortened mitochondria
• in about 50% of MEFs mitochondrial fragments are prominent in the cellular periphery
|
• absence of late meiotic and post meiotic spermatocytes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• tubules contain many apoptotic cells, cells containing disorganized chromosomal material, vacuoles suggestive of cell dropouts and cell debris sloughed into the
lumen of the tubules
