Ovarian toxicity of cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy in mice. 1985

K Vähäkangas, and H Rajaniemi, and O Pelkonen

Pregnant mice of C57BL/6 and DBA/2 inbred strains were exposed to cigarette smoke during days 1-18 of pregnancy. Both mothers and offspring were killed at the age of 21-22 weeks, and ovaries were studied with respect to the number of primordial follicles and small primary follicles. In additional studies, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) was administered on day 15 of pregnancy. Cigarette-smoke exposure during gestation did not affect the number of primordial follicles in the ovaries of mothers, whereas counts were significantly decreased (31%) in the ovaries of DBA/2 offspring, and decreased, although not significantly (20%) in the ovaries of C57BL/6 offspring. DMBA (5 to 50 mg/kg) decreased oocyte counts in the mothers in a dose-dependent manner. At the same doses, DMBA reduced the viability of the offspring. These studies suggest that primordial and small primary follicles may be more sensitive to components in cigarette smoke during fetal life than in adulthood.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D008811 Mice, Inbred DBA An inbred strain of mouse. Specific substrains are used in a variety of areas of BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH such as DBA/1J, which is used as a model for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
