Abstract excerpt
The damaging effects of heat stress on male fertility are evident in developing spermatozoa expressed in ejaculates 18-28 days post-stress in mice. Our objectives were to: (1) assess genetic variation in fertility of heat-stressed male mice and (2) determine response to selection for fertility after heat stress in male mice. Mature male mice were exposed to heat stress (35+/-1 degrees C; n=50) or control (21+/-1...
