reproductive system
• almost entire structure is affected
• instead of normal granulosa cells, cells with morphological characteristics of Sertoli cells (prominent basal lamina, tripartite nuclei, numerous veil-like cytoplasmic extensions pointing toward lumen) are observed
|
• typical follicular structure of ovary resembles seminiferous tubules of testis
|
• size is increased compared to control females
|
• female mice exhibit gonadal sex reversal
