Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel found that exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun may have a positive effect on the fertility of women in their 30s and 40s. Sun exposure, in particular, reduces the rate at which the body depletes its egg supply. results published In the journal Steroids.
2,235 Israeli women participated in the study. During observation of the subjects, scientists found that the secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in the ovaries increases when the level of solar ultraviolet radiation increases in the summer months. Anti-Müllerian hormone in women is an indicator of the level of ovarian reserve, that is, the number of eggs that can be conceived.
Researchers noted that the effect of reducing the rate of egg depletion in the body was most pronounced in women aged 30-40.
Scientists also emphasized that exposure to ultraviolet radiation should be moderate. More research is needed to determine how long you need to stay in the sun to increase fertility.
