azoospermia
(
J:268570
)
• seminiferous tubules are devoid of post-meiotic germ cells
|
• at early zygonema with fewer in cells that survive to mid-pachynema
• reduced RAD51 and DMC1 focus numbers at leptonema
• crossover defects in oocytes
• however, double strand breaks form and are resected
|
• mid-pachynema
|
• however, apoptosis levels at 7.5 days postpartum are normal
|
• in some ovaries
|
• at 3 days postpartum
|
• 3- to 8-fold
|
• reduced cellularity
|
• 3- to 4-fold
• however, testis weight at 7.5 days postpartum is normal
