• severely disrupted at 70 days of age
|
|
• evidence of vacuolation is seen at 70 days of age
• cells contain fewer stable microtubules at 22 days of age
|
|
• reduced diameter at 35 days of age
|
|
• first observed at 35 days of age
|
|
• the caput and corpus epididymides contain exfoliated immature germ cells indicating premature exfoliation of spermatids from the seminiferous epithelium
|
|
• decrease in the number of recognizable spermatozoa in the epididymal lumen
|
|
• decrease in the number of spermatids at 22, 35 and 70 days of age
|
• decrease in the numbers of elongated spermatids at 70 days of age
|
|
• all males are infertile
