The embryo develops, second by second, secret consumed and metabolites. Vive. The metabolome is the set of hormones, molecules and substances that can be found in a biological system, in this case, the embryo and its environment. The Metabolomics is the science that is responsible for studying this system. Ie to study the culture medium in which the embryo is lodged without handling. An indirect attempt to assess its vitality, its viability.
In an article just published in the journal Fertilit and Sterility (Oxidative parameters of embryo culture half Treatment May predict outcome in in vitro fertilization: a novel tool applicable for Improving embryo selection. Zofnat Megnazise Wiener et al. Fertility and Sterility, November 2010) associated with the consumption of oxygen by the embryo with the potential to achieve a pregnancy. Determine which embryos will be transferred in terms of how to perform oxygen consumption can be beneficial to not only increase rates & Researchers only to more accurately choose which embryos can implant and reduce the number to transfer and therefore the risk that has a multiple pregnancy.
FivMadrid is doing business with Molecular Biometrics a study to determine the capacity of the apparatus Viametrics ( http://www.molecularbiometrics.com/ViaMetrics.html ) to measure the metabolism of the embryo and relate to their potential implantatory, and thus, together with the embryonic morphology, which remains the most important parameter when selecting embryos, decide what the best embryos within the cycle.
Like all new techniques, although studies are lacking to substantiate and support its utility, but nevertheless, the future is in these types of procedures that can further study the embryo without handling.
