mortality/aging

• Background Sensitivity: the number of expected mice are obtained (26.2%) on a mixed 129X1/SvJJmsSlc, C57BL/6NCrSlc and DBA/2CrSlc background unlike on a C57BL/6NCrSlc and DBA/2CrSlc background which shows reduced numbers of mice

reproductive system
|
|
• fewer number of spermatozoa are seen in the cauda epididymis
|
|
|
• males exhibit oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia
|
|
|
• sperm exhibit disrupted flagellum formation
• spermatids show defective microtubule structures
|
|
|
• cauda epididymal spermatozoa show abnormalities in the outer dense fiber
|
|
|
• cauda epididymal spermatozoa show disordered axoneme structures
|
|
|
• in cauda epididymal spermatozoa, the annuls does not migrate far enough to the distal region
|
|
|
• cauda epididymal spermatozoa show abnormalities in mitochondrial sheath
|
|
|
• cauda epididymal spermatozoa show abnormalities in the fibrous sheath
|
|
|
• while morphology of round spermatids is normal, elongating/elongated spermatids and spermatozoa show abnormal head morphology
|
|
|
• spermatozoa are completely immotile
|
|
|
• spermiogenesis is defective
|
|
|
• males exhibit smaller and lighter epididymis
