Music not only can relieve stress and is soothing, but the music also provide other benefits unforeseen. A recent study found that music can improve the chances of IVF success.
A group of Spanish researchers believe one egg in the IVF laboratory alias exposed IVF small vibration or vibration of music can increase the chances of fertilization by five percent.
Researchers speculate that the vibrations may facilitate the entry of nutrients into the egg cells and accelerate the removal of toxic waste in it, thus increasing the chances of these cells to undergo fertilization and embryo can survive longer.
Interestingly, although between one man and another man have a taste of different music, in fact, the embryo is not picky. According to the researchers, any genre, whether it be pop, classical, and even heavy metal, everything positive impact on the embryo. The findings presented by researchers at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in London recently.
How researchers prove? The research team from the Institute Marques fertility clinic in Barcelona injecting sperm into the egg around 1000 and put them in an incubator.
Then the researchers put the iPod on the outer half of the number of incubators and play some pop songs of Michael Jackson and Madonna, Nirvana's rock song and Metallica, as well as classic songs composed by Bach, Mozart and Vivaldi.
When checked, the researchers found that higher levels of fertilization on the incubator is fitted with an iPod.
"When we work in the IVF laboratory, we tried to mimic the conditions in the womb, including in terms of lighting and temperature. Previously there ever observe the effect of light on the success of IVF, but no one has ever studied the effects of sound," said researcher Carolina Castello such reported by the Daily Mail, Sunday (14/07/2013).
But Dr Castello know if an embryo does not have the ability to listen for at least 14 weeks. Hence he suspected that the vibrations generated by the music is the key.
Responding to the study, Dagan Wells, a fertility expert from Oxford University said that while this idea sounds strange, but it seems there is a scientific explanation.
"The resulting embryos using IVF embryos are not moving agile produced naturally, which moves down the fallopian tube, wobbling toward her womb.
This movement indicates that the embryo facing a very dynamic environment, and it turned out to give a distinct advantage, especially to get rid of waste products, "said Wells.
"The vibrations produced of music could be the same stimulating effect. Fact, some experts speculate that techno music, with its pounding bass is the best music to accompany this process," he concluded.
