In vitro fertilisation and vitrification disrupt embryo mitochondrial function and redox balance that persists into adulthood in mice
Background and aims Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in vitro fertilisation (IVF), account for over 10 million births worldwide. ART conceived young offspring show altered cardiovascular phenotypes, including cardiac remodelling and raised blood pressure, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Mitochondrial disturbance during preimplantation development may link early ART exposure…
