Abstract
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone that was initially known only for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels and maintaining bone health. However, it was later discovered that many organs express vitamin D metabolizing enzymes and have a ligand for vitamin D, which regulates the expression of an extensive assortment of genes. As a result, vitamin D is indispensable for the proper function of organs, and its deficiency is believed to be a critical factor in symptoms and disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. The significance of vitamin D in reproductive tissues was recognized later, and studies have revealed its crucial role in male and female fertility, as well as proper reproductive function during pregnancy. Vitamin D deficiency has been identified as a risk factor for infertility, gonadal cancers, pregnancy complications, polycystic ovary syndrome, and endometriosis. However, data investigating the association between vitamin D levels and reproductive disorders, including endometriosis, have encountered inconsistencies. Therefore, the present study aims to review existing research on the effect of vitamin D on proper reproductive function, and the role of deficiency in reproductive diseases and specifically focuses on endometriosis.

Vitamin D 3 reduces the symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in mice and inhibits the release of granulosa cell angiogenic factor through pentraxin 3. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2024; 60:432-440. [PMID: 38573397 DOI: 10.1007/s11626-024-00898-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
It has been reported that the effective inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can prevent the progression of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the effect of vitamin D3 (VD3) on OHSS in mouse models and granulosa cells. The effects of VD3 administration (16 and 24 IU) on ovarian permeability were determined using Evans blue. In addition, ovarian pathology, corpus luteum count, inflammatory responses, and hormone and VEGFA levels were assessed using pathological sections and ELISA. Molecular docking predicted that pentraxin 3 (PTX3) could be a potential target of VD3, and therefore, the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and VD3 as well as PTX3 overexpression on the production and secretion of VEGFA in granulosa cells were also investigated using western blotting and immunofluorescence. Twenty-four IU VD3 significantly reversed the increase in ovarian weight and permeability in mice with OHSS. Additionally, VD3 diminished congestion and the number of corpus luteum in the ovaries and reduced the secretion levels of inflammatory factors and those of estrogen and progesterone. Notably, VD3 downregulated VEGFA and CD31 in ovarian tissues, while the expression levels of PTX3 varied among different groups. Furthermore, VD3 restored the hCG-induced enhanced VEGFA and PTX3 expression levels in granulosa cells, whereas PTX3 overexpression abrogated the VD3-mediated inhibition of VEGFA production and secretion. The present study demonstrated that VD3 could inhibit the release of VEGFA through PTX3, thus supporting the beneficial effects of VD3 administration on ameliorating OHSS symptoms.

How Can Selected Dietary Ingredients Influence the Development and Progression of Endometriosis? Nutrients 2024; 16:154. [PMID: 38201982 PMCID: PMC10781184 DOI: 10.3390/nu16010154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in ectopic locations. Since the treatment options for this disease are still limited, and the cure rate is unsatisfactory, the search for ways to treat symptoms and modify the course of the disease is of key importance in improving the quality of life of patients with endometriosis. So far, the literature has shown that nutrition can influence endometriosis through hormonal modification and altering the inflammatory or oxidative response. Since the importance of nutrition in this disease is still a subject of scientific research, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the role of dietary modifications in endometriosis. Our review showed that nutrients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, including most vitamins and several trace elements, may influence the pathogenesis of endometriosis and can be considered as the nutrients preventing the development of endometriosis. However, despite the many discoveries described in this review, further interdisciplinary research on this topic seems to be extremely important, as in the future, it may result in the development of personalized therapies supporting the treatment of endometriosis.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic disease with a complex, heterogeneous pathogenesis that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, causing pain and leading to infertility. Treatment consists of administering pharmacological agents (resulting in a reduction of estrogen levels and inflammation), as well as the surgical removal of endometriotic lesions. Unfortunately, despite a wide range of available therapies, there is still a high recurrence rate after surgery. Consequently, it is necessary to improve the outcome of patients with endometriosis. In this context, there is growing interest in possible dietary modification to support or complement classic treatment options and even serve as a potential alternative to hormone therapy. In addition, a growing number of studies indicate positive effects of selected dietary factors on the development and course of endometriosis. This review article focuses on the potentially beneficial effects of compounds from the polyphenol group (curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, resveratrol), vitamins, and selected micronutrients on endometriosis. The results indicate the potential of the selected ingredients in fighting the disease. However, most of the studies have been performed on experimental animal models, with a smaller proportion looking at the actual effects of use among women. Therefore, well-designed studies are needed to assess the importance of a well-chosen diet and the effects of specific dietary factors on the health of women suffering from endometriosis.
