This article previews research on how physical activity and a hormone-receptor drug may slow ovarian aging in mice, explaining experimental approaches and implications.

Physical Activity Delays Ovarian Aging in Mice
Key Takeaways
  • One month of treadmill exercise preserved primordial follicles and reduced follicle loss in adult female mice.
  • Adiponectin deficiency blunted exercise's protective effect, and ovary-specific adiponectin knockout reduced protection by 76%.
  • AdipoRon treatment increased primordial and total follicle counts, AMH levels, and reduced ovarian p-mTOR signaling.
