Altered metabolic profiles in male offspring conceived from intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While most research has focused on the association between intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and neurodevelopmental disorders in children, relatively little attention has been given to its metabolic effects. Previous studies have reported that low serum lipid levels are associated with mental health problems. Our objective was to analyze the impact of ICSI on metabolic alterations compared to their in vitro fertilization (IVF) counterparts in male offspring, as well as its interaction with paternal overweight/obesity.

Methods

We recruited families between January 2006 and December 2017 at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Shandong University, China. Prospective data of offspring were obtained for body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, glucose, and lipid
