reproductive system

teratozoospermia ( J:210360 )

• flattening of the base of the head, loss of the typical hook-shaped head, changes in the flagellum such as a folded or coiled tail, and the presence of a cytoplasmic droplet

• however, mice exhibit normal sperm count, average motility and progressive motility

coiled sperm flagellum ( J:210360 )

• folded or coiled

abnormal sperm head morphology ( J:210360 )

• flattening of the base of the head and loss of the typical hook-shaped head

multinucleated giant male germ cells ( J:210360 )

abnormal male germ cell apoptosis ( J:210360 )

• in the seminiferous tubules

abnormal seminiferous tubule epithelium morphology ( J:210360 )

• hypocellularity with widened intercellular spaces, multinucleated giant cells and vacuoles

seminiferous tubule degeneration ( J:210360 )

• with increased apoptotic cells

decreased testis weight ( J:210360 )

abnormal spermiation ( J:210360 )

• failure of spermatids to disengage indicated by excess numbers of retained spermatids in the basal compartment of the seminiferous epithelium

abnormal cauda epididymis morphology ( J:210360 )

• decreased weight

decreased epididymis weight ( J:210360 )

decreased fertilization frequency ( J:210360 )

• as determined by in vitro fertilization with increased progression of two-cell embryos to blastocyst-stage embryos
