• >5% of caudal epididymidal sperm contain kinks in the neck
|
|
|
• >15% of caudal epididymidal sperm contain kinks in the midpiece
|
|
|
• caudal epididymidal sperm show disjointed mitochondrial sheaths with gaps between adjacent organelles
|
|
|
• >40% of caudal epididymidal sperm contain kinks in the principal piece
|
|
|
• >60% of caudal epididymidal sperm contain kinks in the midpiece, principal piece or neck
|
|
|
• most round and elongating spermatids contain tubular mitochondria, unlike in wild-type spermatids where mitochondria are almost always fragmented
|
|
|
• caudal epididymidal sperm are significantly less motile than wild-type sperm
|
|
|
• in an in vitro fertilization assay, cauda epididymidal sperm failed to fertilize any oocytes
