A meta-analysis of the effects of vitamin D supplementation on endocrine metabolic and inflammatory markers in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome

Current evidence indicates that vitamin D supplementation significantly reduced the HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, FBI, and TT in PCOS patients. However, fasting blood glucose (FPG), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), free androgen index (FAI), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were unaffected.
