reproductive system
• some mice exhibit hemorrhagic large follicles with a trapped oocyte
• 44% of eggs produced by female mice are abnormal with eggs that are fragmented, without polar bodies, or unfertilized
• 70% of eggs produced by superovulated female mice are abnormal
• females produce fewer oocytes
• however, all superovulated females produce normal numbers of oocytes
• in some mice
• some mice exhibit hemorrhagic large follicles with a trapped oocyte
• some mice exhibit hemorrhagic large follicles with a trapped oocyte
• synaptonemal complexes of pachytene spermatocytes are malformed
• seminiferous tubules lack meiotic spermatocytes and post-meiotic spermatids
• epididymis contain fewer sperm than in wild-type mice
• spermatocytes undergo apoptosis during late pachytene of meiotic prophase and during meiotic divisions
• synaptonemal complexes of pachytene spermatocytes are malformed
• female mice are hypofertile with some failing to produce offspring and others producing smaller than normal litters
• however, all superovulated females produce oocytes
• female mice are hypofertile with some failing to produce offspring and others producing smaller than normal litters
• offspring of homozygous females exhibit increased embryonic lethality at E9.5 compared to offspring of heterozygous mice
