Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes on the serum cholesterol profile, glucose and insulin tolerance, blood pressure, and heart rate of adult mouse offspring.<br />Study Design: The serum cholesterol profile, glucose and insulin tolerance, blood pressure, and heart rate of adult offspring born from in vitro matured oocytes were compared with those of adult offspring born from in vivo matured oocytes.<br />Results: Offspring born from in vitro matured oocytes showed a normal serum cholesterol profile. In the glucose tolerance test, glucose levels were consistently elevated in adult offspring born from in vitro matured oocytes compared with those born from in vivo matured oocytes, but the differences did not reach statistical significance. There were no significant differences in insulin tolerance, blood pressure, and heart rate between adult offspring born from in vitro matured oocytes and those from in vivo matured oocytes.<br />Conclusion: No alterations were found in the metabolism profile of adult mouse offspring born from in vitro matured oocytes compared with that from in vivo matured oocytes.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
