• mice exhibit normal male fertility at 2 and 8 months of age and show no significant alterations in testis size, testis weight and seminiferous tubule histology or in GJA1 (Cx43) protein distribution at 8 months of age relative to controls, indicating that GJA1 overexpression in Sertoli cells rescues the sterility and testicular pathology phenotypes observed in Sertoli cell-specific Ggcx conditional knockout mice
