reproductive system
N |
• male mice exhibit normal prostate gland, seminal vesicle, epididymides, serum testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
|
azoospermia
(
J:222925
)
|
• abnormal shape
• however, sperm exhibit normal condensation of chromatin and morphology of the acrosome
|
• testicular cells exhibit altered calcium mobilization compared with wild-type cells
|
• atrophy is occasionally observed
|
• at 24 weeks
|
• arrested at the nuclear condensation stage
• however, meiosis is normal
|
• female mice produce fewer litters than wild-type mice
