Fig. 3
Hypertrophic gonads of amh mutants at 4 mpf. (A) The mutant male individuals (amh−/−) showed enlarged abdomen and huge testes (arrows) when compared with the controls (amh+/+ and amh+/−). By comparison, no obvious difference was observed among different genotypes in females. (B) Dissected gonads and quantification of gonadal weight and GSI. *** P < 0.001. (C) Histological examination of testes from different genotypes (amh+/+, amh +/− and amh−/−). The mutant testis (amh−/−) contained much higher number of pre-meiotic spermatogonia (asterisks) but much less meiotic spermatocytes (SC) and post-meiotic mature spermatozoa (SZ). |
