Abstract Introduction In polycystic ovary syndrome, serum vitamin D levels are known to correlate with metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. However, there are not enough studies showing such a relationship with female fertility. We aimed to compare serum vitamin D levels in fertile and infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome to evaluate whether vitamin D may play a role in the pathogenesis of fertility problems in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods 274 infertile and 111 fertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome were included in this retrospective study. Infertile and fertile groups were matched by age, body mass index and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. Anthropometric, clinical and laboratory characteristics of the women were recorded. Serum 25(OH)D3 levels were used to assess serum vitamin D levels. Results No significant differences were detected between groups in terms of anthropometric, clinical and laboratory features except for serum 25(OH)D3 levels and the incidence of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D levels were significantly lower and vitamin D deficiency was more common in the infertile group compared to the fertile group. When the groups were stratified into obese/non-obese or insulin resistance positive/negative, infertile obese and infertile insulin resistance-positive women had the lowest serum 25(OH)D3 levels. Conclusion Serum vitamin D levels are lower in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to fertile women. When insulin resistance or obesity was present, vitamin D levels were reduced further. Thus, in polycystic ovary syndrome, lower vitamin D levels may play a role in the pathogenesis of fertility problems.

ContextMetabolic disturbances, in particular, insulin resistance (IR) and dyslipidemia, are common in women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Evidence is accumulating that vitamin D status may contribute to the development of metabolic disturbances in PCOS.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review addressing the association between vitamin D status, vitamin D receptor polymorphisms, and/or polymorphisms related to vitamin D metabolism and metabolic disturbances in women with PCOS.Design and methodsA systematic search of electronic databases was carried out up to January 2013 for observational studies and clinical trials in women suffering from PCOS with outcome measures that were related to vitamin D status. We conducted univariate and multivariate regression analyses of the weighted means to gain insights into the association between vitamin D, BMI, and IR based on existing literature.ResultsWe found 29 eligible trials with inconsistency in their results. One well-designed randomized controlled trial has been carried out until now. Univariate regression analyses of the weighted means revealed vitamin D to be a significant and independent predictor of IR in both PCOS and control women. The significance disappeared after adjustment for BMI in PCOS women.ConclusionsCurrent evidence suggests an inverse association between vitamin D status and metabolic disturbances in PCOS. Owing to the heterogeneity of the studies, it is hard to draw a definite conclusion. The causal relationship between vitamin D status and metabolic disturbances in PCOS remains to be determined in well-designed placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials.
