Vitamin D binding protein correlate with estrogen increase after administration of human chorionic gonadotropin but do not affect ovulation, embryo, or pregnancy outcomes.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2024.1401975

BackgroundVitamin D binding protein (DBP) might increase substantially after ovarian stimulation and hence could be associated with IVF/ICSI outcomes because it determines the fraction of free bioavailable 25(OH) vitamin D. In this study, w…

25(OH)VitD and human endocrine and functional fertility parameters in women undergoing IVF/ICSI.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2022.986848

BackgroundVitamin D plays an important role in reproduction. Evidence shown that free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)VitD) was more accurate than total 25(OH)VitD in reflecting the status of 25(OH)VitD during pregnancy. However, the relationshi…
