The duration of embryo culture after mouse IVF differentially affects cardiovascular and metabolic health in male offspring

Abstract excerpt

STUDY QUESTION: Do the long-term health outcomes following IVF differ depending upon the duration of embryo culture before transfer? SUMMARY ANSWER: Using a mouse model, we demonstrate that in male but not female offspring, adverse cardiovascular (CV) health was more likely with prolonged culture to the blastocyst stage, but metabolic dysfunction was more likely if embryo transfer (ET) occurred at the early...
