Effects of different intensities of exercise on folliculogenesis in mice: Which is better?

Objective: Exercise is a risk factor for infertility in women. However, research on the effects of different intensities exercise folliculogenesis has not yielded clear results. This study was conducted to analyze differences intensity mice. Methods: Nineteen female BALB/c mice (age, 3–4 months; weight, 13–25 g) were randomly divided into four groups: control, mild exercise, moderate and high-intensity exercise. The groups engaged swimming, with additional loads 3%, 6%, or 9% body respectively. There five swimming sessions per week 4 weeks, gradually increasing duration every week. At end treatment, ovarian extraction carried out hematoxylin eosin staining performed identify folliculogenesis. Results: significant number total follicles between control moderate-exercise (p=0.036) mild- (p=0.005). mean primary higher group than mild-exercise (p=0.006). secondary, tertiary, Graafian did differ significantly among (p≥0.05). each phase tended increase after especially moderate-intensity Conclusion: affected follicles. Moderate-intensity had better other
