Ultrastructural analysis of epididymal sperm.A, representative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of mitochondria from longitudinal sections of cauda epididymal sperm. Arrows indicate defined cristae found in mitochondria of capacitated sperm; arrow heads indicate dense cores found in mitochondria of Txnrd3−/− sperm. B, classification of mitochondrial morphology in wildtype and Txnrd3−/− sperm before and after capacitation. Total number of counted sperm are shown in parentheses above each bar. The numbers in the column indicate the proportion of each classification.
