Serum trace and heavy metal exposure and IVF/ICSI outcomes: modifying effects of maternal diet in a prospective cohort
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the associations between serum concentrations of ten trace and heavy metals and outcomes of IVF/ICSI, while also examining how maternal dietary patterns might modify these relationships. The study found that higher levels of magnesium and calcium were linked to improved embryo quality, whereas elevated lead levels negatively impacted embryo rates. Additionally, dietary habits, particularly high caffeine consumption, influenced these associations, suggesting that optimizing maternal diet could enhance resilience against metal-related reproductive risks.
