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

• cytochrome c oxidase activity is reduced in kidney and heart cells in non-transplanted mice in which the mutant mtDNA is present in 85% of total mitochondria but not in mice from nuclear transplants with less than 5% mutant mtDNA (J:103743)
• in mice with greater than 70% mutant mtDNA (J:115155)
• cytochrome c oxidase activity is reduced in the sperm of mice with greater than 73% mutant mtDNA (J:115155)
• however, mice with less than 68% mutant mtDNA are normal (J:115155)
• cytochrome c oxidase activity is reduced kidney cells of mice with 80% mutant mtDNA (J:132407)
