reproductive system
N |
• female mice exhibit normal fertility
• male mice exhibit normal testes appearance, testis weight, and testis histology
|
• disorganized in step 16 spermatids without proper mitochondrial elongation or coiling along the flagellum
|
• with reduced average path velocity, straight line velocity, and curvilinear velocity
|
• essentially absent with both cumulus-intact and cumulus-free oocytes
• reduced fertilization with zona pellucida-free oocytes
|
• binding is rare
• however, acrosomal reaction occurs in the cases where the sperm does bind the zona pellucida
