Assisted reproduction causes placental maldevelopment and dysfunction linked to reduced fetal weight in mice
18 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Compelling evidence indicates that stress in utero, as manifested by low birth weight (LBW), increases the risk of metabolic syndrome in adulthood. Singletons conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) display a significant increase in LBW risk and ART offspring have a different metabolic profile starting at birth. Here, used mouse as a model, we found that ART resulted in reduced fetal weight and...
