We hypothesized that superovulation has differential effects depending on timing of exposure. To test our hypothesis, we isolated the effect of superovulation on pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos. Blastocysts were obtained from either natural mating or following superovulation and mating, and were transferred into naturally mated or superovulated pseudopregnant recipient mice. Fetal weight was significantly lower after peri-implantation exposure to superovulation, regardless of preimplantation exposure (p\u00a0=\u00a00.006). Placentas derived from blastocysts exposed to superovulation pre- and peri-implantation were larger than placentas derived from natural blastocysts that are transferred into a natural or superovulated environment (p\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.05). Fetal-to-placental weight ratio decreased following superovulation during the pre- or peri-implantation period (p\u00a0=\u00a00.05, 0.01, respectively) and these effects were additive. Peg3 DNA methylation levels were decreased in placentas derived from exposure to superovulation both pre- and peri-implantation compared with unexposed embryos and exposure of the preimplantation embryo only. Through RNA sequencing on placental tissue, changes were identified in genes involved in immune system regulation, specifically interferon signaling, which has been previously implicated in implantation and maintenance of early pregnancy in mice. Overall, we found that the timing of exposure to gonadotropin stimulation can have differential effects on fetal and placental growth. These findings could impact clinical practice and underscores the importance of dissecting the role of procedures utilized during IVF on pregnancy complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/biolre\/ioaa109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,25]],"date-time":"2020-06-25T08:43:44Z","timestamp":1593074624000},"page":"854-865","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Timing of exposure to gonadotropins has differential effects on the conceptus: evidence from a mouse model"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Chantae","family":"Sullivan-Pyke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kofinas Fertility Group, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sneha","family":"Mani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric A","family":"Rhon-Calderon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teri","family":"Ord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Coutifaris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marisa S","family":"Bartolomei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Mainigi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021060516081564900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.ss6804a1","article-title":"Assisted reproductive technology surveillance -
