New Breakthrough in the Field of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

NEW YORK - Aug. 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Researchers now know that a type of 'fireworks' display, caused by zinc, occurs when an egg is fertilized by the sperm enzyme. Better still, measuring the size of the 'sparks' is a direct indicator of the viability of that egg. This offers those undergoing IVF treatments increased odds of a successful pregnancy and live birth.

The Potential for Greater IVF Success Rates
This discovery, led by Northwestern Medicine group, has wide spread ramifications for those who are having trouble conceiving, or carrying a baby to term. Measuring the 'sparks' that fly when conception occurs will allow doctors to choose the most viable embryos for implantation. This holds a great deal of potential for success for couples who have been having trouble conceiving. This also allows doctors to better target which fertility medications are best suited to each individual woman's body chemistry and the viability of the embryo. Many fertility medications (and IVF drugs) are designed to both increase the environment of a woman's uterus for implantation of the embryo, but also to produce very robust eggs in the ovaries for fertilization.

What Makes the Sparks Fly During Fertilization
Scientists report that the 'sparks' are created when an egg is injected with the sperm enzyme and a calcium surge occurs. When this happens, the zinc that is naturally present in the egg is discharged in a spectacular fashion. This study was the combined and direct interaction and cooperation between both medical researchers and chemists, using non-federal dollars for their research. This unique partnership has allowed for a further advancement in the area of human reproduction and the development of new fertility medications.

Why Zinc is Important to Embryo Viability
A healthy human egg distributes zinc throughout the environment to control and regulate the development of the healthy embryo. Zinc, in essence, is the controlling agent that decides what will grow and change, and what will not. The support and release of eggs, thanks to several very good IVF medications on the market, have played key roles as well.

Says co-author, Dr. Eve Feinberg (responsible for taking care of patients providing their eggs for study), "This is an important discovery because it may give us a non-invasive and easily visible way to assess the health of an egg and eventually an embryo before implantation."  Feinberg goes on to state that previously there just was no hard and fast way to tell if an egg was of sound quality. And, in fact, in many instances, there was no way to know until a pregnancy ensued and was carried to term. Feinberg is excited with the findings because it means that more couples who would like to become parents will no longer have to worry, wait, and watch their bank accounts dwindle as they experience one failed attempt after another. This new discovery will save a lot of heartache as well as dollars for those who have been trying, without success, to have a child.  This also offers increased potential for those who are going through IVF treatments, and utilizing the many IVF medications, that their efforts will be rewarded.
