• males show reduced caudal epididymal sperm counts
|
• more than 70% of sperm are abnormal
|
• malformation of sperm flagella, including disorganized outer dense fibers and the axonemal microtubules
|
• disorganized outer dense fibers
|
• disorganized axonemal microtubules
|
• total motility of sperm is reduced
|
• males are sterile
• however, gross testes morphology, body weight and testis weight are normal
