The Effect of Light on Embryos and Embryo Culture

2012-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In oviparous animals, the egg hatches outside of the body and is exposed to light; in some cases throughout the development of the fetus. In mammals, fertilization and the growth of embryos in vivo occurs in the dark but in human IVF, these embryos are exposed to variable light sources and intensities. Light can affect embryonic development in some species via either a direct toxic effect on the embryo, or indirec...
