reproductive system
• in seminiferous tubules, caput epididymis, and cauda epididymis
|
• increased sperm DNA compression
• however, no DNA strand breaks
|
• some decapitated sperm
|
• deteriorated at 4 months of age
|
• increased pachytene spermatocytes
|
hearing/vestibular/ear
• at 1 month of age, profound at 6 months of age
|
• at 1 and 6 months of age
|
• increasing with age
|
• mice can only hear 70 dB

nervous system
• at 1 month of age, profound at 6 months of age
|
• at 1 and 6 months of age
