NT®0121 104 4. Atresia Title: LACK OF EFFECT OF EXPOSURE TO WHOLE CIGARETTE SMOKE ON OOCYTE DEPLETION IN BC3F1/CUM MICE Authors: D. Mattison, K.K. Kanagalingain, M.D. Avery, J. Felton, R.E. Kouri, and C.J. Henry SUMMARY The number of oocytes was determined in ovarian tissue from BC3F1/Cum mice after exposure to 2R1 cigarette smoke. Age- matched animals, treated exactly as the smoke-exposed groups but sham-exposed without cigarette smoke, were also evaluated,. Smoke and sham exposures were initiated when the animals were 8 weeks old and continued 5 days per week for over 50 weeks. The number of oocytes per ovary in untreated BC3F1/Cum mice at "8 weeks of age is -4300. This number gradually declines as the animals age, reaching -200 oocytes per ovary by 40-50 weeks of age. Exposure to the smoke from five 2R1 cigarettes per day (-400-500 ug total particulate matter per lung) resulted in no significant differ- ences in the number of oocytes per ovary between the smoke and sham exposed groups, compared to untreated controls, over the observation period of 8-50 weeks of age.
