reproductive system
N |
• fertile with normal testis weight, mature sperm numbers and sperm motility
|
• increase in apoptotic cells in the seminiferous tubules
|
• mild perturbations in the defined spatial organization of developing germ cell populations are seen
• miss-located spermatocytes in the luminal part of the seminiferous tubules instead of being restricted to the more basal cell layers
|
• multinucleated giant cells are present in the tubules
|
• higher Ca2+ concentrations and cAMP levels in the sperm
|
• increase in the incidence of spontaneous acrosome reaction
|
