Fine Structure of Developing Spermatids used as a Basis for Staging of the Spermateleosis in the Blue Fox (Alopex Lagopus)

Abstract Ultrastructural changes of the different spermatid organelles have been studied in order to establish a basis for subdivision of blue fox spermateleosis. Testicular tissue from 9 sexually mature animals was obtained within the breeding season (March—April), As a result of electron microscop...

Description
Summary:Abstract Ultrastructural changes of the different spermatid organelles have been studied in order to establish a basis for subdivision of blue fox spermateleosis. Testicular tissue from 9 sexually mature animals was obtained within the breeding season (March—April), As a result of electron microscopical observations, ten distinct stages of spermatid differentiation could be defined.
