Figure 3: Genetic ablation of Ccnb3 did not affect testis size or seminiferous tubule structure.

Figure 3:

a) Testis-to-body weight ratios (percent) for adult mice. Error bars indicate means ± standard deviation: 0.54 ± 0.068 and 0.57 ± 0.070 for wild type and Ccnb3−/Y, respectively. Similar ratios were observed for males carrying the em3 allele (0.50 ± 0.11, n = 9).

b) Representative periodic acid Schiff stained seminiferous testis sections from adult mice (one animal per genotype). Stages IV and XII are the stages most commonly associated with apoptosis of spermatocytes encountering meiotic defects (Ahmed and de Rooij 2009).
