Exposure Of Explants Of Human Fetal Ovaries To Ibuprofen For Short Periods May Be Associated With A Sharp Decrease In Germ Cells,

“Exposure of explants of human fetal ovaries to ibuprofen for short periods is associated with a sharp decrease in the number of germ cells,” researchers found. The study authors wrote, “The findings raise ‘concern about ibuprofen consumption by pregnant women during the fetal ovarian organogenesis period and a subsequent risk for the establishment of the follicular reserve.’” The findings were published online in Human Reproduction. https://academic.oup.com/humrep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/humrep/dex383/4831088
