On the other hand, vitamin D could influence the insulin secre*on regulated by the opening and closing of calcium channels
and 1,25(OH)2D may also improve insulin sensiIvity by s*mula*ng the expression of insulin receptors and acIvaIng
peroxisome proliferator-acIvated receptor delta (PPAR-δ).

Vitamin D is also able to prevent hypermethylation (of DNA) and consequent functional inactivation of many
genes, as well as other epigenetic alterations in β cells and in other insulin-sensitive peripheral tissues, mainly
liver, adipose tissue and muscle.
• Ovulatory PCOS paZents had lower AMH levels compared to anovulatory PCOS paZents
• Increased androgen levels have also been related with the increased producZon of AMH

2. A normal level of vitamin D can reduce low grade inflammation, which is a major process in inducing
insulin resistance.
3. Vitamin D induces Akt phosphorylation and downregulated RAGE thus attenuating the effect of AGEs
and potentially reducing insulin resistance at the granulosa cell.
4. Indirect relationship between serum AMH and insulin resistance in PCOS patients leading them to
suffer from high risk of metabolic syndrome.
5. Supplementation of high dose vitamin D with insulin sensitizer will improve PCOS and metabolic
syndrome symptoms.
