Evaluation of relationship between BMI with vitamin D receptor gene expression and vitamin D levels of follicular fluid in overweight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome

Evaluation of Relationship between Body Mass Index with Vitamin D Receptor Gene Expression and Vitamin D Levels of Follicular Fluid in Overweight Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder associated with reproductive disorders and metabolic dysfunctions including insulin resistance. The roles of vitamin D in the regulation of metabolic modulations specifically involving insulin and reproduction processing are introduced. In addition, obesity appears to be closely associated with severity of PCOS. T...

The relationship between Polycystic ovary syndrome and vitamin D levels

OBJECTIVE The main aim of this study was to determine the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) levels with hormonal, clinical and metabolic profile in patients with and without Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight normal-weight (body mass index (BMI) of 19-24.99 kg/m2) women with PCOS, 36 overweight (BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2) women with PCOS and 56 nor...

Vitamin D Receptor TaqI Gene Variant in Exon 9 and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Risk

Pnm-29: Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation in Reproductive Function of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS. Vitamin D is thought to influence the development of PCOS through gene transcription, and hormonal modulation influences insulin metabolism and fertility regulation. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to study the effects of vitamin D supplementation in reproductive function of PCOS women. MaterialsAndMethods This review ar...

Evaluation of the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and disease recurrence in patients with ulcerative colitis

Background: one of the growing diseases in the world that affects patient life quality is Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC). Many environmental factors, including nutritional deficiencies, may influence the development of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the role of the level of vitamin D in UC recurrence. Methods: We performed this cross-sectional stu...

Vitamin D deficiency in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

OBJECTIVE TO INVESTIGATE: the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Korean women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and the relationship between vitamin D status and clinical or metabolic features in this group. METHODS We recruited 38 women with PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria. A total of 109 premenopausal control women were matched with patients based on age and body mass index. Serum...
