Do monochorionic diamniotic in vitro fertilization twins have a decreased incidence of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome?
The significantly lower proportion of TTTS found in IVF-conceived twins may suggest a different embryological process that lies at the core of IVF conception of monozygotic twinning.
Identifying nutritional determinants of oxidative stress is important because of its negative health effect. Consumption of cooked vegetables and moderate intake of wine has been shown to be appropriate for reducing the risk of oxidative damage. On the contrary, caution must be used with the intake of potatoes because we have found a positive association with MDA levels. Further studies are required to investigate the mechanism(s) of this association and whether it is related to the preparation method or to the potato itself.
