mortality/aging
• at day 218 to 277, all non-transplanted mice with less than 70% mutant mtDNA in their tails but greater than 88% in kidney cells die unlike mice from nuclear transplants with less than 5% mutant mtDNA that live longer than 300 days

cellular
• middle piece abnormalities, including unevenly sterile and bending forms, are most often observed in mice with greater than 70% mutant mtDNA
|
• sperm nucleus abnormalities (pyknosis) are most often observed in mice with greater than 70% mutant mtDNA
|
• headless sperm are most often observed in mice with greater than 70% mutant mtDNA
|
• spermatocytes and spermatids are reduced in mice with 69% to 80% and difficult to detect in mice with greater than 81% mutant mtDNA
|
• male mice with greater than 69% mutant mtDNA exhibit reduced sperm cell numbers due to apoptosis of meiotically arrested cells
|
• cytochrome c oxidase-deficient cardiac mitochondria possess only tubular and bubble-like cristae
|
• cytochrome c oxidase-deficient cardiac mitochondria possess a swollen structure
|
• in male mice with greater than 75% mutant mtDNA, spermatocytes arrest at the zygotene stage because of abnormal synapsis
|
• sperm from mice with 69% to 73% mutant mtDNA exhibit reduced sperm motility while it is absent in mice with more than 73% mutant mtDNA
