Abstract
Both vitamin D deficiency and high serum IL-6 concentration are risk factors for TFI. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was significantly and negatively correlated with serum IL-6. There was an interaction between IL-6 and 25(OH)D for the risk for TFI-related infertility. We hypothesized that vitamin D might reduce the risk for TFI through suppressing the production of IL-6.
