Fig. 9: Tex38−/− and Arrdc5−/− spermatozoa failed to pass through the uterine-tubal junction (UTJ).

From: Disruption of TEX38 impairs sperm morphogenesis and the migration of sperm into the oviduct

Fig. 9

A H&E Cross sections of the UTJ of female mice mated with mice and Tex38−/− (or Arrdc5−/−) mice, respectively. The middle and right panels are rectangular areas with higher magnification for the corresponding left panel. The red arrow represents sperm. B Sperm count in the uterus after coitus. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. (n = 4), Student’s t-test. C Sperm count in the oviducts after coitus. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. (n = 4), Student’s t-test.
