reproductive system
N |
• testes to body weight ratio is similar to controls
|
• extrememly reduced numbers in the cauda epididymis
|
• sperm from the cauda epididymis show severe morphological defects including abnormal heads and bent or coiled tails
|
• apparent scarcity of flagella at stage VII-VIII
• defects in formation are detected at step 9 during spermiogenesis
|
• displaced
|
• displaced microtubules
• abnormal '9+2' atructure
|
• in the midpiece or principal piece
|
• absence of microtubules
|
• elongating spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis show deformed acrosomes
|
• nuclear abnormalities are seen starting at step 10 in elongating spermatids
• elongating spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis show abnormally constricted nuclei at the site of perinuclear rings and deformed acrosome and malformed nuclei
|
• nuclear abnormalities are seen starting at step 10 in elongating spermatids and fewer tails are present in the lumen at stage VII-VIII
• elongating spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis show abnormally constricted nuclei at the site of perinuclear rings, deformed acrosome and malformed nuclei, and asymmetric and abnormally elongated manchette microtubules
|
• elongating spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis show asymmetric and abnormally elongated manchette microtubules
|
• elongated abnormally along the nuclear surface
|
• males are completely infertile
