Vitamin D consumption attenuates association between pesticide exposure and female infertility
China: A recent study published in the journal Clinical Laboratory has demonstrated for the first time that vitamin D may alter the associations of human female infertility with pesticide exposure at home.
The researchers reported a significant association of female infertility with pesticide exposure in the home is modified by the consumption of dietary vitamin D.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes bone mineralization and maintains calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Recent studies have suggested that vitamin D status may have an impact on pregnancy, fertility and birth outcomes.
Only a few epidemiological studies have shed light on the association between pesticide exposure and female infertility. However, evidence of the available data is restricted and controversial. Vitamin D supplement was considered beneficial for fertility. So, Chunxiu Wu, and colleagues aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin D consumption on the relationship between pesticide exposure at home and female infertility.
