Effect of Aging on Superovulation Efficiency, Aneuploidy Rates, and Sister Chromatid Cohesion in Mice Aged Up to 15 Months1
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human eggs are highly aneuploid, with female age being the only known risk factor. Here this aging phenomenon was further studied in Swiss CD1 mice aged between 1 and 15 mo. The mean number of eggs ± SEM recovered from mice following superovulation peaked at 22.5 ± 3.8 eggs/oviduct in 3-mo-old females, decreasing markedly between 6 and 9 mo old, and was only 2.1 ± 0.2 eggs/oviduct by 15 mo. Measurement of...
