reproductive system
N |
• adult females are fertile and show normal ovarian size and histology, with no detectable defects in oogenesis
• despite mild defects in sperm number, motility and morphology, adult males are fertile with no detectable defects in testes to body weight ratio, testicular histology or meiotic progression, indicating normal spermatogenesis
|
• the number of spermatozoa per cauda epididymis is slightly lower than that in wild-type controls
|
• the percentage of spermatozoa with normal morphology is slightly lower than that in wild-type controls
|
• CASA analysis showed a significant reduction in the % of motile sperm
• however, the % of progressively motile sperm is comparable to that in wild-type controls
