reproductive system
increased male germ cell apoptosis ( J:89546 )
• germ cell apoptosis is increased to greater than 30% per tubule in homozygous males
abnormal Leydig cell morphology ( J:89546 )
• Leydig cells contain fewer lipid droplets and swollen mitochondria withou normal central cristae, however basal circulating testosterone levels are normal
decreased testis weight ( J:89546 )
• testes weight is reduced by 25% in mutants
abnormal spermatogenesis ( J:89546 )
• chromatid bodies are unusually condensed, much smaller, and lack the typical amorphous 'nuage' texture throughout spermatogenesis
arrest of spermatogenesis ( J:89546 )
• spermatogenesis arrests after step 8 with round spermatids but no elongating cells seen
• only degenerating spermatids are seen in the epididymis
male infertility ( J:89546 )
• homozygous mutant males are sterile, but mutant females are fertile

endocrine/exocrine glands
abnormal Leydig cell morphology ( J:89546 )
• Leydig cells contain fewer lipid droplets and swollen mitochondria withou normal central cristae, however basal circulating testosterone levels are normal

cellular
