by New research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism sheds light on the metabolic health of children born through frozen or fresh embryo transfers. The study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, aimed to investigate potential differences in metabolic parameters between these two groups.
The team analyzed data from over 2,000 children, born between 2009 and 2016, who underwent embryo transfer procedures at the UCSF Infertility Drugs Center. Metabolic assessments were conducted on the children when they were around six years old.
The researchers found no significant differences in various metabolic parameters, such as body mass index (BMI), insulin sensitivity, glucose levels, and lipid profiles, between children conceived through frozen and fresh embryo transfers.
“Our findings suggest that children born through frozen embryo transfers have similar metabolic profiles to those born through fresh embryo transfers,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Jane Doe. “These results are important as they help alleviate concerns regarding potential long-term health effects associated with the use of frozen embryos in assisted reproductive technologies.”
The study’s findings add to the growing body of evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of frozen embryo transfers. With advancements in freezing techniques and storage methods, the use of frozen embryos has become increasingly popular in assisted reproductive treatments.
“Our study provides valuable information for families considering assisted reproductive technologies,” said Dr. Doe. “It is essential to have accurate and up-to-date information to help them make informed decisions about their reproductive health.”
The research team plans to continue investigating the long-term health outcomes of children born through assisted reproductive technologies, including the potential impact of genetic factors and environmental influences.
the new study reveals that children born through frozen embryo transfers exhibit similar metabolic profiles to those born through fresh embryo transfers. These findings offer reassurance to families considering assisted reproductive technologies and contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of frozen embryo transfers.
