Anti-Müllerian hormone in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a glycoprotein produced in the granulosa cells of the ovary. It is involved in the regulation of follicular growth and development. AMH serum and follicular fluid concentration is increased in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which correlates with the extent of ovarian dysfunction and clinical manifestation of the syndrome. It is unclear whether the h...
متن کاملRole of Anti-Müllerian Hormone in pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: a review
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism in young women. Excessive ovarian production of Anti-Müllerian Hormone, secreted by growing follicles in excess, is now considered as an important feature of PCOS. The aim of this review is first to update the current knowledge about the role of AMH in the pathophysiology of PCOS. Then, this re...
متن کاملAnti-Müllerian hormone as a predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome treated with clomiphene citrate
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the threshold of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as predictor of follicular growth failure in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients treated with clomiphene citrate (CC). METHODS Fifty female subjects with PCOS were recruited and divided into two groups based on successful and unsuccessful follicular growth. Related variables such as age, infertility du...
متن کاملLetter to the Editor: Serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels and phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
Dear Editor: The recent report on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome is very interesting [1]. Hwang et al. [1] concluded that “high serum AMH levels cannot predict the phenotype of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic disturbances in PCOS patients in the non-obese group”. Notably, the results from this work are totally different from ...
متن کاملThe Author Response: Serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels and phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
Reply: We recently published an original article entitled “Can high serum Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels predict the phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic disturbances in PCOS patients?” [1]. There are numerous reports on high serum AMH levels in patients with PCOS, and their serum AMH levels are much variable. We were curious about the possibility that high serum AM...
