Background:
Menopause is a unique event in women's life it usually occurs naturally, most often after age 50 when woman has not menstruated in 12 consecutive months. This study was planned to assess the relationship between Vitamin D3 level, PAI-1 and HCG in Babylon women at age <50 years as pre-menopausal and> 50 years as post-menopausal.
Methods:
The sample were selected from a group of pre- and post-menopausal women, 30 and 50 respectively. All the tests were evaluated to measure Vitamin D3 level, PAI-1 and HCG level. The sample was collected between July 2019 and January 2020 at Merjan medical city GIT and Liver Center, Babylon province, Iraq.
Results:
The result of current study revealed that there are significant differences in vitamin D3 level in various age categories within postmenopausal women (p= 0.02) also there is no significant differences in PAI-1 and HCG with in these two groups, p= 0.08 and 0.07, respectively. Also, there is significant negative correlation between vitamin D3 and PAI-1 in postmenopausal women (p. value is 0.01).
Conclusion:
Indeed, postmenopausal women regarded as elderly, but they have sufficient vitamin D3 and normal PAI-I levels as markers for normal non fibrosis status.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
01:22Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
