Özet
Objective: To evaluate whether maternal vitamin D levels affect cord blood Anti Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, reflecting ovarian reserve, in female offspring. Methods: Cord blood AMH from healthy pregnant women delivering term female infants were compared in groups with different maternal vitamin D levels. Results: Maternal age, weight gain during pregnancy, usage of vitamin D supplements, newborn birth weight, and 5th-min Apgar scores were significantly higher in the normal vitamin D level group (All p < 0.05). AMH levels were similar among all groups (p = 0.6). There was no significant correlation between newborn AMH and maternal vitamin D levels (rho = 0.006, p = 0.9). The stepwise regression analysis showed that the maternal age and birth weight had lower AMH levels, whereas the maternal vitamin D level did not. (p = 0.03, p = 0.04, p = 0.5, respectively). Conclusion: Maternal vitamin D levels did not have a significant effect on AMH, a reflection of ovarian reserve.
