Abstract
Background:
Some studies have shown the relation between
vitamin D levels and the success rate
of fertility in couples treated with Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART). The aim
of this study is to determine Association
of vitamin D level in serum and follicular
fluid with follicular response in infertile
women in an ART program.
Method:
In this cross sectional study 81 infertile
women were placed under treatment for
induction ovulation according to a long
protocol. Follicular fluids were extracted
from follicles over 14 mm and blood samples
collected on the same day. Follicular
fluid and blood samples were centrifuged
and stored at -80 C. Then level of 25-OH-vit
D was measured by immunoassay method.
Result: The
mean age of the subjects was 32.91 ±
4.83. The average BMI of patients was
27.63 ± 3.97. There was no significant
correlation between the follicular concentrations
of vitamin D and the number of oocytes
as well as serum concentration of vitamin
D and the number of oocytes (Respectively,
P = 0.95 and P = 057). There was also
no relation between the numbers of ovarian
follicles and follicular concentrations
of vitamin D as well as the number of
ovarian follicles and serum concentration
of vitamin D (P=0.07).
Correlation analysis
revealed a high relationship between serum
and follicular fluid vitamin D (P<0.001).
Conclusion:
Different concentrations of vitamin D
in serum or follicles have no significant
correlation with the number of ovarian
follicles and mature oocytes.
Key words:

The World Health Organization estimates that
approximately 10-25% of couples have infertility
problems. Infertility has affected about 80
million people worldwide [1, 2]. Vitamin D is
a steroid hormone and induces its effects on
the nucleus by connecting its receptors to this
part of the cell. This hormone is effective
on almost all body cells and has a positive
relation with the bodys health from cancer
to heart disease [3, 4]. Vitamin D can play
an important role in growth and differentiation
of various tissues, reducing the risk of chronic
diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases,
infectious diseases and cardiovascular disease
[5-11]. Studies have shown that Vitamin D receptors
exist in most tissues and cells in the body
which in itself shows the role of vitamin D
[5]. Among the various physiological functions
of vitamin D, some seem an important role in
reproductive physiology [12] in a way that Vitamin
D receptors are also found in reproductive tissues
such as ovary and uterus [13, 14].
More information confirming the association
between vitamin D and reproduction arise from
studies carried out on receptors. Vitamin D
receptors can be observed in reproductive organs
like the uterus and ovaries [15]. Recent studies
have shown that Vitamin D plays an important
role in female fertility by promoting the synthesis
of two important hormones in reproduction which
are estrogen and progesterone. The correct balance
of these two hormones is essential for reproductive
health and menstrual cycles [16]. Vitamin D
may also be associated with endometriosis and
the possibility of pregnancy after IVF operation
[17]. Lack of vitamin D shows up to 85% companionship,
in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The
deficiency of this vitamin is also associated
with PCOS symptoms such as menstrual irregularities
and infertility [17]. Patients with PCOS have
hypervitaminosis D and average levels of vitamin
D are lower in these patients compared to non-PCOS
people [18]. It has been shown that vitamin
D supplementation can improve insulin resistance
as well as the sequence of menstrual cycles
[19, 20] which in itself can increase the chances
of pregnancy. Adequate levels of vitamin D are
also important for fetal development during
pregnancy [21]. Vitamin D deficiency is especially
common in the Middle East. Factors such as avoiding
exposure to the sun, using sunscreen, type of
dressing of women and the high number of skin
pigments in Asian people can be among the main
reasons for this deficiency [22]. The prevalence
of vitamin D deficiency in Australia is between
70 to 80 percent among children and pregnant
women while this percentage falls to 23 in young
adults [23]. According to studies of the Endocrinology
Research Center of Tehran University of Medical
Sciences, the prevalence of this problem is
in oscillation from 40 to 80 percent in different
parts of Iran [24]. Some of the studies have
shown the relation between the level of vitamin
D and the success rate of fertility in couples
treated with ART, in a way that women with vitamin
D deficiency have shown a lower fertility rate
compared to women who had higher vitamin D levels
[25, 26]. It has been shown in some studies
that women with higher levels of vitamin D in
serum and follicular fluid will have significantly
higher clinical pregnancy after IVF and ET and
high levels of vitamin D are significantly associated
with better parameters of controlled ovarian
stimulation [12]. But other studies have mentioned
the lack of significant effect of vitamin D
in the follicular fluid and blood in predicting
outcomes related to reproductive techniques
[27]. Thus, the objective of our study is to
evaluate the companionship of vitamin D level
in serum and follicular fluid with follicular
response in infertile women undergoing ART treatment.
This is a cross-sectional study. Sampling has
been carried out using census method and includes
all women with infertility undergoing IVF or
ICSI who referred to infertility center of Fatemeh
Zahra of Babolin 2015 during the period of 8
months (October to March). Inclusion criteria
included age between 18 and 40, normal Hormone,
thyroid and prolactin tests and exclusion criteria
included Cancellation of treatment cycles, performing
ART for genetic identifications, underlying
medical condition such as heart, liver and kidney
diseases and the use of drugs that interfere
with the metabolism of vitamin D.
Written consent is initially signed by infertile
women after explaining the method for women
eligible for study inclusion and demographic
data are collected by questionnaire. Then, infertile
women will be placed under treatment for ovulation
induction according to the protocol of infertility
center of Fatemeh Zahra (Long Protocol) which
is in from of prescribed Buserelin acetate (Cinnagen,
Iran) with the initial dose of 0.5mg / d in
mid luteal phase which is reduced to 0.25mg
/ d after occurrence of menses and completion
of pituitary suppression and will continue until
the day of oocyte retrieval. Gonal F (Cinnagen,
Iran) starts from the second day of menses based
on age and the number of antral follicles and
their dose is regulated by monitoring Estradiol
and TVS. HCG (Daroupakhsh, Iran) is administered
at a dose of IU10000 when the size of follicle
reaches to 16-18 mm and TVS guide of ovaries
are removed 34 to 36 hours later. Follicular
fluid is taken from follicles over 14 mm and
heparinized blood sample of these women is taken
on the same day to measure the level of 25-hydroxy
vitamin D. Blood samples and follicular fluid
sample are placed at -80 ° centigrade after
centrifugation and sent to the laboratory on
a weekly basis. Vitamin D measurement is done
by immunoassay method using the bioactiva kit.
It should be noted that Serum vitamin D levels
less than 20ng / dl are considered as deficient
levels of vitamin D and levels between 20-30ng
/ dl are considered as inadequate levels and
levels higher than 30ng / dl are considered
as adequate levels of vitamin D according to
the Endocrine Society [27]. Analysis of the
data was done using the SPSS19 application and
descriptive statistical indexes including frequency
and average and chi-square test was used to
compare qualitative variables between the two
groups.

The
present
study
has
been
carried
out
in
order
to
determine
the
possible
role
of
serum
and
follicular
fluid
vitamin
D
levels
on
follicular
response
in
81
infertile
women
referred
to
infertility
center
of
Fatemeh
Zahra
in
Babol
during
8
months
(from
August
to
March
of2015).
The
results
of
our
study
showed
a
72
percent
prevalence
of
vitamin
D
deficiency
in
infertile
women
and
only
8%
of
patients
had
adequate
levels
of
vitamin
D.
It
was
determined
in
a
study
carried
out
by
Garabedian
and
colleagues
on
173
infertile
women
that
55%
of
them
had
vitamin
D
deficiency
[15].
Rudick
and
colleagues
examined
the
effects
of
vitamin
D
on
the
clinical
outcome
of
IVF
in
another
study,
out
of
188
infertile
women,
109
patients
(58%)
suffered
from
a
lack
of
vitamin
D
(with
levels
less
than
30ng
/
ml)
[28].
Vitamin
D
status
is
different
among
various
communities
which
can
be
due
to
different
factors
affecting
the
level
of
vitamin
D.
Seasons,
geographic
location,
dressing,
using
sunscreen
and
skin
pigmentation
in
people
are
among
these
factors
[29].
Some
of
the
hormones
and
metabolites
are
effective
on
the
number
and
maturation
of
oocytes
which
are
supplied
by
follicular
fluid.
Follicular
fluid
is
also
an
important
environment
for
oocyte
development.
Increased
or
decreased
compositions
of
this
fluid
affect
the
number
and
quality
of
oocytes
and
embryo.
A
part
of
the
composition
of
follicular
fluid
originates
from
serum
and
metabolic
changes
in
serum
may
affect
the
biochemical
compounds
of
follicular
fluid.
Thus,
growth
and
maturation
of
follicle
are
affected
by
metabolite
concentrations
of
blood
[30,
31].
Our
study
also
showed
a
significant
positive
correlation
between
serum
vitamin
D
levels
and
follicular
fluid
vitamin
D
levels
which
was
similar
to
the
results
obtained
from
the
study
of
Firouzabadi
and
Anifandis
[32,
33].
The
results
of
our
study
showed
that
different
concentrations
of
vitamin
D
in
serum
and
follicular
fluid
do
not
have
significant
relation
with
the
number
of
ovarian
follicles
and
oocytes.
A
few
studies
have
examined
the
serum
and
follicular
fluid
vitamin
D
levels
at
the
same
time
and
most
of
the
studies
have
only
evaluated
the
serum
level
of
vitamin
D
or
follicular
fluid
level
of
vitamin.
In
the
study
of
Farzadi
and
his
colleagues,
no
significant
relation
was
observed
between
the
follicular
fluid
vitamin
D
levels
and
number
and
quality
of
oocytes
but
follicular
fluid
levels
of
vitamin
D
had
a
significant
positive
correlation
with
the
level
of
implantation
and
IVF
results
[34].
In
the
study
of
Polyzos
and
colleagues,
no
significant
relation
was
observed
between
vitamin
D
levels
and
fertility
and
there
was
also
no
relation
between
serum
vitamin
D
deficient
and
ovarian
reserve
and
ovarian
response
to
ovulation
induction
[25].
Anifandis
and
colleagues
also
did
not
find
any
relation
between
the
follicular
fluid
levels
of
vitamin
D
and
the
number
of
oocytes
in
their
study
which
examined
the
effect
of
vitamin
D
level
and
glucose
level
follicular
fluid
[33].
Only
in
a
study
which
compared
the
serum
vitamin
D
level
with
follicular
fluid
similar
to
our
study,
Ozkan
and
his
colleagues
found
out
by
evaluating
the
infertile
women
undergoing
IVF
that
higher
levels
of
25-hydroxyvitamin
D
in
serum
and
follicular
fluid
are
associated
with
higher
rates
of
clinical
pregnancy
after
IVF
and
high
levels
of
of
vitamin
D
in
serum
and
follicular
fluid
are
significantly
associated
with
better
parameters
of
controlled
ovarian
stimulation
[35].
Rudick
and
colleagues
confirmed
that
vitamin
D
status
is
associated
with
the
success
of
IVF
in
non-Hispanic
white
women
in
populations
with
high
ethnic
diversity
but
no
beneficial
effects
of
adequate
levels
were
observed
among
the
Asian
population
and
in
fact,
vitamin
D
is
inversely
related
to
IVF
success
[28].
This
matter
probably
could
explain
the
results
of
our
study.
The
present
study
showed
that
there
is
a
significant
correlation
between
serum
vitamin
D
levels
and
follicular
vitamin
D
levels
but
there
is
no
relation
between
serum
and
follicular
vitamin
D
levels
and
the
number
of
oocytes
and
ovarian
follicles
in
infertile
women.
