reproductive system
N |
• females are fertile
|
small testis
(
J:279342
)
• dramatically smaller at P21 and P90
|
• weight is significantly lower from P21 to P90
• weight is 60% that of wild-type controls at P90
|
• diplonema spermatocytes and early-pachynema spermatocytes or pachynema spermatocytes are frequently seen in the same seminiferous tubules
|
azoospermia
(
J:279342
)
|
• absence of spermatids in the seminiferous tubules
|
• absence of spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubule
|
• fail to progress through meiosis I
• progression to M phase is delayed and spermatocytes arrest at M phase
|
• decrease in the level of 20S core proteasomes in pachynema spermatocytes
• increase in protein stability in spermatocytes
