Vitamin D and Zinc Concentration in Endometriosis

This cross-sectional study included 26 in vitro fertilization patients categorized into two groups, patients with and without endometriosis. Clinical data were obtained from medical records and patient interviews. Laboratory data were obtained through blood and follicular fluid samples obtained using the ovum pick up procedure. There were no significant differences in serum vitamin D levels in patients with (22.83 [5.00–40.00]) and without (30.11 [10.40–76.10]) endometriosis and follicular fluid vitamin D levels in patients with (15.33 [4.50–36.32]) and without (23.64 [4.98–60.22]) endometriosis (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between serum zinc levels in patients with (75.23 ± 11.58) and without (79.46 ± 12.09) endometriosis (p>0.05). Zinc concentration in follicular fluid did not show a significant difference between patients with endometriosis (39.00 [22.00–49.00]) and without (51.00 [19.00–95.00]) endometriosis (p>0.05).本横断面研究（cross-sectional study）纳入26名体外受精（in vitro fertilization, IVF）患者，按是否罹患子宫内膜异位症（endometriosis）分为两组。临床数据取自病历记录与患者访谈，实验室数据则通过取卵术（ovum pick up procedure）采集的血液及卵泡液样本获得。子宫内膜异位症患者与非子宫内膜异位症患者的血清维生素D水平分别为22.83[5.00~40.00]与30.11[10.40~76.10]，两组患者的卵泡液维生素D水平分别为15.33[4.50~36.32]与23.64[4.98~60.22]，上述指标组间均无统计学差异（p>0.05）；子宫内膜异位症患者与非子宫内膜异位症患者的血清锌水平分别为75.23±11.58与79.46±12.09，组间差异无统计学意义（p>0.05）；子宫内膜异位症患者与非子宫内膜异位症患者的卵泡液锌浓度分别为39.00[22.00~49.00]与51.00[19.00~95.00]，同样不存在统计学差异（p>0.05）。
