The model from References

CTX

Wistar rat (180–200 g)

Ip: 14 days

1st: 50 mg/kg;

2–14 th: 8 mg/kg

The most common model; the operation is simple

Myelosuppression and bleeding

[21]

SD rat

(150 g)

Ip: 14 days

1st: 50 mg/kg;

4–15 th: 5 mg/kg

[23]

SD rat (8 weeks)

Ip: 14 days

1st: 50 mg/kg;

2–14 th: 5 mg/kg

[24]

TG

SD rat

(220–250 g)

Ig: 70 days

For 10 weeks: 40 mg/kg/days

High safety

Long molding time

[10]

CTX + BF

Wistar rat (180–220 g)

Ip (CTX) + ih (BF)

1st: CTX:120 mg/kg + BF 12 mg/kg

Simple operation, short cycle, only a single dose

–

[25]

CIS

SD rat

(180–250 g)

Ip: 6 days

2 mg/kg, Daily, 6 days

Low-cost, short cycles, low mortality

The lethal dose (50) was 7.4 mg/kg

[22]

SD rat (320 ± 10 g)

Ip: 10 days

1.5 mg/kg, Daily, 10 days

[26]

DOX

ICR mice

(7–8 weeks)

Ip: 7.5 mg/kg,

Single dose

The operation is simple

The model success rate is uncertain

[11]

ZP3 glycoproteins

BALB/c mice

(18–22 g)

SI 1st and 14 th

1st: 0.16 mg/mouse

14th: 0.16 mg/mouse

Short cycle, high survival rate of mice (100%), and the high success rate (80–90%)

–

[27]

BALB/c mice

(7–8 weeks)

SI 1st and 14 th

1st: 0.16 mg/mouse

14th: 0.16 mg/mouse

[28]

OA + FIA

SD rat (8  weeks)

SI

3 times, once every 10 days. OA:FIA = 1: 1

–

This method is rarely used

[13]

Thymus removing

BALB/c mice

Surgery

Removing the thymus of 3-day-old neonatal mice

90% developed autoimmune ovaritis and POF

Thymectomy for newborn mice is difficult to operate and has a high mortality rate

[14]

Sound-light-electricity stimulation

SD rat

(200–220 g)

For 20 days, 5 times per day

The acousto, optical, and electrical stimuli for 20 days

it is consistent with known major causative agents of human POF, and pathogenic pathways and pathological changes are like clinical observations

The success rate of the model is low and large samples are needed

[15]

CUMS

Wistar (~ 200 g)

For 35 days

Alternating daily fasting and water deprivation, forced swimming, noise interference, and plantar electrical stimulation

[16]

GAL

SD rat

(Born 35 days)

Food pellet: 19 days

Food pellet with 35% galactose: from 3 days of conception continuing through weaning of the litters (21 days), the adult offspring were POF

Success rate:63%

The period is relatively long

[18]

D-GAL

Mice (7–8  weeks )

SI: for 42 days

Daily with d-gal (200 mg/kg/day)

The process of establishing the model is simple
