摘要
维生素D是一个多功能信号分子,其主要生理作用是调节机体钙磷代谢和骨的矿物化。随着研究的深入,维生素D的靶器官增多,在睾丸、男性生殖道和人类精子均有维生素D受体和维生素D代谢酶的表达,提示维生素D对生殖具有重要作用。越来越多的研究证实,维生素D缺乏或者不足与男性生殖之间存在关联。其机制可能与减少性激素水平、降低精液质量、参与生殖肿瘤发生、发展等有关。该文从维生素D代谢及生理作用、维生素D与男性生殖各方面的关系进行综述,以便探究应用维生素D预防和辅助治疗男性不育的新视角。
Vitamin D is a multifunctional signaling molecule,and its main physiological role is to regulate the body's calcium and phosphorus metabolism as well as bone mineralization. The spectrum of vitamin D target organs has been expanded,the expression of vitamin D receptor and metabolic enzymes have been found in testis,male reproductive tracts,and human spermatozoa,suggesting vitamin D plays an important role in human reproduction. More and more studies have confirmed that there is a correlation between vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency and male reproduction. The mechanism may be related to reduced levels of sex hormones,reduced semen quality,involvement in the occurrence and development of reproductive tumor,etc.Here is to make a review of the metabolism and biological role of vitamin D,as well as the relationship between vitamin D and male reproduction,in order to explore new prevention and adjuvant treatment for male infertility.
