Background: Vitamin D, also known as the ‘sunshine-hormone’ that offers numerous benefits for women
who are experiencing menopause. For women going through the menopause, the lack of natural Vit-D can
bring many issues like increased risk of developing CVD, reduced cognitive function and osteoporosis.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry with the
collaboration of Department of OBG & GYNE. Participants in the study donated 10 ml of blood which was
collected aseptically in serum separation. Samples were processed as soon as possible, latest within 2 hours of
collection; in order to prevent DNase, RNase and protease activity. Serum separation tubes were spun at
5900 x g for ten minutes and supernatant serum was subsequently divided with the help of transfer pipette
into aliquots of at least 200 µl in each cryo-vial marked a, b, c and sample ID as prefix.
Result: Frequency distribution of Estrogen receptor –a polymorphism of PvuII in Premenopausal were CT
43.24% genotype and followed by CC 36.04% and least genotype was TT 20.72%. Furthermore,
Postmenopausal Women PvuII was more CT 45.22% genotype and followed by CC 34.78% and least was TT
20% in table. Frequency distribution of Estrogen receptor –a polymorphism of Xbal in Premenopausal were
AG 54.95% genotype and followed by AA 25.23% and least genotype was GG 19.82%. Furthermore,
Postmenopausal Women Xbal was more AG 55.65% genotype and followed by AA 25.22% and least was GG
19.13%.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency and definitive management can prevent many
complications that could affect child health and cause burden on the community. We recommend promoting
healthy diet and physical activities for postmenopausal women to prevent obesity and vitamin D deficiency
