Guducu N, Gormus U, Kutay SS, Kavak ZN, Dunder I. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels are related to hyperinsulinemia in polycystic ovary syndrome. Gynecological Endocrinology. 2014; 30(8): 557-560. doi:10.3109/09513590.2014.910189.Özet
Aim: To determine 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and metabolic disturbances including insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
Materials and methods: We compared biochemical, hormonal parameters and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of 58 women with PCOS and 38 body mass index matched controls.
Results: There was no difference in 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of women with PCOS and the control group. Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in women with PCOS were related to higher insulin levels (r=-0.271 and p = 0.042). More than 90% of the subjects had hypovitaminosis D. The negative relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and body mass index did not reach statistical significance.
