reproductive system
• contain on average 1.5 times more cleaved caspase-3 positive tubules at 7 days post-partum compared to controls
• however, the number of apoptotic cells per tubule is similar to controls
|
• display a Sertoli cell only syndrome

• at 5 months of age
|
• all germ cells are lost during the first wave of spermatogenesis
|
azoospermia
(
J:261955
)
• loss of germ cells and absence of sperm in the epididymis
• Sertoli cell only syndrome develops by 23 days post-partum
• expression analysis indicates misregulation of some differentiation pathways during the first wave of spermatogenesis
|
• cells do not leave the basement membrane and fail to develop past the leptotene stage
