Deficiency in fertilization by morphologically abnormal sperm produced by azh mutant mice.

Molecular reproduction and development - 1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt

Male mice homozygous for the azh mutation produce spermatozoa with abnormal head shapes and have significantly reduced fecundity, to between 5% and 10% that of wild-type or heterozygous mice. Several possible causes of this infertility were investigated. No gross endocrine disorders in azh/azh male mice were observed, and they exhibited apparently normal mating behavior. In addition, their sperm were motile, were...
