The LH receptor knockout mice, which have epididymal phenotypes, gave us an opportunity to test the hypothesis that testosterone replacement alone may not be sufficient to reverse phenotypes to wild-type epididymis. The morphological phenotype in knockout animals includes a decrease in luminal diameter of the proximal and distal caput and...
