Description
These data are from an experiment investigating how group versus individual housing influences ovaries in house mice ( Mus musculus ). The data were collected using methods described below. Animals and Housing Treatment Female Swiss-Webster mice ( Mus musculus ; Taconic Biosciences, Germantown, NY) arrived at our facility after weaning at three weeks. Upon arrival, mice were placed into a five-week housing treatment of either individual housing (n = 9) or housing in groups of three (n = 9). Mice in both treatments were kept in standard laboratory rodent cages (30 cm x 20 cm x 15 cm) in a temperature-controlled room maintained at 20 - 22 °C with 30% humidity and a 12:12 light-dark cycle. Standard laboratory rodent chow and water were provided ad libitum . All procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Utica University (protocol 2021-001). Tissue Processing and Analysis At the conclusion of the 5-week housing treatment, mice were euthanized by CO 2 inhalation and decapitated (Pack and Slepecky, 1995) . The ovaries were subsequently harvested, blind to treatment group, and fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde, in 0.4 M PO 4 (pH 7.2) for 12h…
