behavior/neurological
decreased copulatory plug deposition ( J:307635 )
• reduced frequency of copulation plugs compared to wild type control

cellular
abnormal sperm head morphology ( J:307635 )
• more than 40% of spermatids show bent head malformations
decreased sperm progressive motility ( J:307635 )
• progressive motility, path velocity (VAP), progressive velocity (VSL), and track speed (VCL) were significantly lower
