N
• normal testes weight
• significantly reduced percentage of motile spermatozoa in caudal epididymis
• most of motile spermatozoa in caudal epididymis belong to slow- or medium-moving classes
• normal sperm concentration in caudal epididymis
• majority of heads are round
• the few normal shaped heads are separated from flagella
• majority of heads are round and are devoid of chromatin
• very low ratio of sperm with head versus tails only in caput, corpus and cauda epididymis
• spermatids misoriented (heads towards lumen) in stage VII-VIII seminiferous tubules
