In a study using photographic technology, the researchers looked at the growth of the middle 868 embryos undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Approximately 139 women from the group of respondents were smokers.
Because IVF using the whole embryo in this study was developed in the laboratory. Thus, doctors can examine the embryo through embryoscope that allows embryo can be observed up close without disturbing. At certain times, the researchers photographed the embryo, from fertilization until ready for planting from the womb of the mother.
At each stage of development, the embryo turns of women smokers has always lagged behind women not perkok embryos. In the five stages of cell development, embryos of women who are not smokers develop in 49 hours while smoking a brand that takes 50 hours. At development eight cell stage, embryos from female smokers need at least four hours longer to develop than non-smokers.
"If you want to have a baby, quit smoking," said principal investigator and researcher senior embryologist, Dr. Thomas Freour.
According to Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said studies using embryoscope are pioneers in bidngnya. "With this technology, the scientists were able to observe the development of the embryo in real-time without any bother," he said.
Pacey added that the use of technologically embryiscope is indeed new, and therefore will continue to be explored whether the technology has the potential to remember during this embryonic research can only be done through a microscope.
