Figure 5.
Testis weight is altered in SC-KO mice. At d35, a significant decrease in testis weight was observed in SC-KO animals (unpaired t-test; p = 0.0028, n = 7–9). At d50, testis weight was similar between WT and SC-KO animals (unpaired t-test; p = 0.1129, n = 9). At d100, a slight but significant increase in testis weight was observed in SC-KO mice (unpaired t-test; 0.0354, n = 13). This increase became more exaggerated at d180 (Mann-Whitney U-test; p = 0.0027; n = 12–16). By d270, a significant decrease in testis weight was observed in SC-KO mice (unpaired t-test; p = 0.0195; n = 9–11). Values are expressed mean ± S.E.M.
