Outcomes investigating the effect of vitamin D3 (VD3) and omega-3 fatty acids (Omega-3FA) on serum estradiol (E2) are scarce and conflicting. No previous study has investigated the effect of VD3 combination with Omega-3FA on E2 levels. This study was designed to investigate the effect of VD3, Omega-3FA and VD3 plus Omega-3FA on serum E2 levels in premenopausal females diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (VDD).
This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effects of 50,000 IU VD3 taken weekly, 300 mg Omega-3FA taken daily and their combination by the study participants for 8 weeks. The mid-follicular serum levels of E2 and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) were assessed at 8 weeks. The study was conducted during winter on a convenience sample of healthy premenopausal Jordanian females with diagnosed VDD. Fasting serum levels for 25OHD and E2 were assessed at baseline and the end of the trial (after 8 weeks). Data were entered into SPSS and analyzed.
Healthy premenopausal Jordanian females (N=86) with diagnosed VDD, mean age 32.8±8.9 years, were recruited into the study. Supplementation of VD3 alone resulted in a significant increase in serum 25OHD (13.4±7.9-28.2±7.1 ng/mL, <0.001) and a significant decrease in E2 levels (85.7±16.5-60.3±20.6 pg/mL, =0.001). Omega-3FA intake led to a significant decrease in serum 25OHD levels (21.2±12.8-13.6±9.2 ng/mL, =0.001) and a significant increase in E2 levels (56.3±19.2-78.4±23.7 pg/mL, =0.006). Combination therapy (VD3 plus Omega-3FA) resulted in a significant increase in both 25OHD (12.0±4.7-35.1±9.5 ng/mL, <0.001) and E2 (43.0±23.4-57.3±31.5 pg/mL, =0.028) levels.
Results of this study provide vital insight into the effects of D3, Omega-3FA and a combination of their supplementation on premenopausal Jordanian females with diagnosed VDD. Eight weeks of therapy led to decreased E2 level by VD3 and increased level by Omega-3FA supplementation. With regard to 25OHD, its level was increased by VD3 and decreased by Omega-3FA supplementation. Combination of VD3 plus Omega-3FA increased the levels of both E2 and 25OHD.

关于维生素D3(VD3)和ω-3脂肪酸(Omega-3FA)对血清雌二醇(E2)影响的研究结果较少且相互矛盾。此前尚无研究探讨VD3与Omega-3FA联合使用对E2水平的影响。本研究旨在调查VD3、Omega-3FA以及VD3与Omega-3FA联合使用对诊断为维生素D缺乏(VDD)的绝经前女性血清E2水平的影响。
本随机、安慰剂对照临床试验旨在评估研究参与者每周服用50,000 IU VD3、每日服用300 mg Omega-3FA及其联合使用8周的效果。在第8周时评估卵泡中期血清E2和25-羟基维生素D(25OHD)水平。该研究在冬季对诊断为VDD的健康绝经前约旦女性的便利样本进行。在基线和试验结束时(8周后)评估25OHD和E2的空腹血清水平。数据录入SPSS并进行分析。
招募了诊断为VDD的健康绝经前约旦女性(N = 86),平均年龄32.8±8.9岁。单独补充VD3导致血清25OHD显著升高(13.4±7.9 - 28.2±7.1 ng/mL,<0.001),E2水平显著降低(85.7±16.5 - 60.3±20.6 pg/mL,=0.001)。摄入Omega-3FA导致血清25OHD水平显著降低(21.2±12.8 - 13.6±9.2 ng/mL,=0.001),E2水平显著升高(56.3±19.2 - 78.4±23.7 pg/mL,=0.006)。联合治疗(VD3加Omega-3FA)导致25OHD(12.0±4.7 - 35.1±9.5 ng/mL,<0.001)和E2(43.0±23.4 - 57.3±31.5 pg/mL,=0.028)水平均显著升高。
本研究结果为VD3、Omega-3FA及其联合补充对诊断为VDD的绝经前约旦女性的影响提供了重要见解。八周的治疗导致VD3使E2水平降低,而补充Omega-3FA使E2水平升高。关于25OHD,VD3使其水平升高,而补充Omega-3FA使其水平降低。VD3与Omega-3FA联合使用使E2和25OHD水平均升高。
