Hi everyone,
I asked the supplier of my experimental animals about the age when CD-1 female mice may be considered "reproductively old". I was told that "reproductors" undergo replacement when they reach 8 or 9 months old. However, they failed to provide a reference for such a statement.
Can anyone help me, please?

HI Dear Stefano,
What do you want to do in your experiment? do you know whats their puberty and maturity age? or you want to evaluate aging effect exactly?

Hi dear Mohammad,
my main experiment was focused on how some critical brain endpoints were affected by habitual exercise, but, as a collateral experiment, I have measured also some antioxidative and antiglycative parameters in ovaries from 12- and 14-mo female CD1 mice. I am trying to find some literature claiming that ovaries from mice aged 12/14 months exhibit some early dysfunctions (diminished ovarian reserve, reduced litter number, etc.).
Thank You very much for Your kind help
Stefano
Hi Dear Stefano,

Affectionately,
Mehid
