Fertilization and early embryology: Comparison of pyruvate uptake by embryos derived from conception and non-conception natural cycles

Abstract excerpt

The uptake of pyruvate by human embryos derived from natural cycles in the first 24 h following fertilization was examined. Since only one egg was obtained and therefore only one embryo transferred to the woman, it was possible to relate pyruvate consumption by a particular embryo to the outcome of that cycle (pregnancy or no pregnancy). The results showed that embryos have a wide range of pyruvate uptake values...
