Article Abstract
Background: Regular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for regulating the growth and activity of ovarian follicles, very high levels can lead to accelerated oxidative stress, which in turn causes premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and reproductive dysfunction.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of supplementing with vitamins D, E, and selenium on specific markers related to ovarian reserve.
Methods: Electronic websites, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Cochrane, SAGE, Springer, and Google Scholar were searched for published studies from March 2012 to December 2024. Of the 2067 references identified in the initial search, in total, ten observational studies, one randomized control trial (RCT), and one quasi-experimental study that assessed the association between antioxidant vitamins (D, E, SE) and POI were included in this systematic review.
Results: A total of 521 women were included in all studies. All studies showed an overall association between serum levels of vitamins D, E, and selenium (SE) on POI and ovarian reserve markers. However, not all studies found this association.
Conclusion: This review showed that a lack of vitamin D, E, and SE may affect POI. Supplementation can elevate AMH levels while simultaneously reducing FSH hormone. Given the increasing trend of POI, these findings could be promising and act as a preventive or curative approach for POI, if documented in further studies.

The Effects of Covid-19 Vaccination on Menstruation: Are women with underlying reproductive health conditions, particularly black women at a higher risk for vaccine-related menstruation complications?

The study investigates the potential impact of COVID-19 vaccines on menstrual cycles, with a particular focus on Black women and those with underlying reproductive health conditions. Despite numerous reports of menstrual irregularities post-vaccination, research on this subject remains limited. The study aims to explore whether these irregular cycles could indicate broader reproductive health concerns, such as reduced ovarian reserve, and whether certain vaccines are more likely to cause these changes.

Ferroptosis is a form of iron-regulated cell death that plays a critical role in various aspects of female reproductive system development. These processes include the normal estrous cycle, ovarian formation, follicular maturation, ovulation, and pregnancy, all of which are essential for maintaining reproductive health in female animals. However, excessive iron leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species within cells, disrupting intracellular redox balance, inducing mitophagy, membrane rupture, and lipid peroxidation, which can damage tissues and cells, ultimately resulting in ferroptosis.

The gut microbiota, comprising trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, exists in symbiosis with the host. As the largest microbial ecosystem in the human body. The gut microbiota not only shapes the homeostasis of the intestinal microenvironment through gut-derived metabolites but also exerts regulatory effects on the functions of diverse tissues and organs throughout the body via the intricate "gut-distal organ axis" mechanism.

Menstrual blood (MB), a biofluid rich in diverse cell types and biomolecules, has emerged as a vital resource for investigating female reproductive health and diseases because of its unique composition and noninvasive accessibility. This review explores the potential of MB in medical research and clinical applications, focusing on its diagnostic and therapeutic prospects. For disease diagnosis, MB offers a noninvasive sampling method for identifying biomarkers in endometriosis, cervical cancer, and other gynecological conditions.

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition, and problems may persist or develop after the menopause. Endometriosis or its treatment in premenopausal women may lead to premature or early menopause. Thus, it is imperative that healthcare providers are appropriately trained in management of endometriosis at the menopause and beyond.
