Preterm Birth with Vitamin D Deficiency

Abstract

Currently, there is more and more data on the pleiotropic effect of vitamin D, including those related to its effect on the body of a pregnant woman and the fetus. At the same time, it was found that a sufficient level of vitamin D is necessary throughout pregnancy, starting from the moment of implantation and the formation of the placenta. Vitamin D plays an important role in the adequate functioning of the mother-placenta-fetus system, and also has a positive effect on embryogenesis, the course of intra- and postnatal periods.
