Ceelen et al. retrospectively investigated whether children conceived
following in vitro fertilization (IVF) were at increased risk of developing
cardiometabolic problems.
The researchers compared 225 children born after IVF with a control group of
225 spontaneously conceived children matched for age and sex. All children
(mean age at the time of follow-up 12.3 years, range 8–18 years) were born to
parents with suboptimal fertility. All participants' blood pressure, skinfold
thickness and body weight and height were recorded. A subset of 131 pubertal
children from each group provided blood samples for measurement of indicators
of insulin resistance.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressures, the sum of skin-fold thicknesses and
fasting glucose levels were all significantly higher in children conceived
following IVF than in controls. No significant differences were found between
the two groups in fasting insulin concentrations, insulin resistance, or height
and weight measurements. Multivariate regression analysis showed that blood
pressure and fasting glucose levels remained significantly increased in
IVF-conceived children after controlling for confounding factors.
sehr Interessant war die Sendung "Abenteuer Wissen" diese Woche zum
Thema Epigenetik <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetik> und (auch) In
Vitro Fertilisation. In TR gabs auch was zu dem Thema:
