N
• testis weight to body weight and seminal vesicle weight to body weight ratios are normal
abnormal sperm axoneme morphology ( J:194944 )
• sperm axonemes and accessory structures appear disorganized
• "9 +2" axonemes are not present in the remaining flagella
absent sperm flagellum ( J:194944 )
• very few flagella are formed
oligozoospermia ( J:194944 )
• epididymidal sperm number is dramatically lower than that in control mice
• epididymides only contain debris and degenerating spermatozoa
abnormal sperm head morphology ( J:194944 )
• most of the remaining spermatozoa exhibit round or detached heads
abnormal sperm nucleus morphology ( J:194944 )
• spermatids with enlarged redundant nuclear envelopes are observed
abnormal spermatid morphology ( J:194944 )
• spermatid tails are not formed properly, and the redundant nuclear envelope appears to be enlarged
abnormal manchette assembly ( J:194944 )
• manchette structures are either disrupted or absent in condensing spermatids
immotile sperm ( J:194944 )
• remaining epididymidal spermatozoa show no motility
arrest of spermiogenesis ( J:194944 )
