mortality/aging
|
• severe ovarian phenotypes were always accompanied by variable degrees of growth retardation, poor body condition, a disheveled appearance, and frequently premature death
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• ovaries developed far fewer preovulatory and ovulatory follicles in response to gonadotropin treatment than control ovaries and often appeared to have fewer large secondary follicles as well
|
|
• ovaries developed far fewer preovulatory and ovulatory follicles in response to gonadotropin treatment than control ovaries and often appeared to have fewer large secondary follicles as well
• fewer healthy antral follicles in 42-d-old mutant female
• small subset of mutant female had very small ovaries that were devoid of antral follicles and corpora lutea at 8?12 wk of age
|
|
• only 49% the size of those of littermate controls
• all stages of follicular development and corpora lutea could be identified in most adult

renal/urinary system
