reproductive system
• the number of pachytene and diplotene spermatocytes is decreased in testes
• almost no fully-matured spermatozoa are seen in the cauda epididymis
|
• XY body malformation and SYCP3 overloading in pachytene stage spermatocytes
|
• TUNEL+ cells are frequently seen in the second germ cell layer of seminiferous tubules, corresponding to spermatocytes after the pachytene stage
• TUNEL signals overall are seen throughout the seminiferous epithelial cycles
