Vitamin D apart from bones has role in other organs as its receptor is also expressed in the ovary, placenta, and the uterus. Lower vitamin D has been related to premenstrual syndrome, uterine fibroids, dysmenorrhoea and early menarche. The promoter region for the gene encoding anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) contains a domain for the vitamin D response element, suggesting that vitamin D can regulate AMH expression.  AMH in turn regulates follicular recruitment, which provides a mechanism for vitamin D to influence ovarian function and menstrual cycle regularity.
