Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the height, weight, and BMI of children conceived through different methods, including fresh and frozen embryo transfers, natural conception, and less aggressive fertility treatments at the age of 6.
- A total of 8149 children were surveyed, with a focus on 3299 term singletons divided into four groups: natural conception (NC), non-assisted reproductive technology (non-ART), fresh embryo transfer (FreET), and frozen embryo transfer (FET).
- The results showed that children from the FreET group were 1.0 cm taller than those from the non-ART group by age 6, but there were no significant differences in measurements among the other groups.
Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine protease inhibitor that diminishes tissue destruction during inflammation. A recent report revealed high levels of SLPI expression in the oral carcinoma cell. In addition, overexpression of SLPI up-regulates metastasis in lung carcinoma cells.
