reproductive system
• female mice exhibit normal fertility
|
• frequent lack of microtubule doublet 4
|
• reduced curvilinear velocity and average path velocity with more asymmetrical waveform pattern and reduced beat frequency in the midpiece compared with wild-type sperm
• however, straight-line velocity is normal
|
• male mice sired fewer pups per litter with half of male mice infertile
|
