Anti-mullerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the usefulness of plasma anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) measurement as a tool for assessing ovarian reserve in a general infertility population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma AMH levels were analysed in 238 women aged 18-46 years during day 3-5 of their menstrual cycle. All 238 patients had follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels less than 10 i.u./L, suggesting normal ovar...
متن کاملAn Update on Ovarian Aging and Ovarian Reserve Tests
Ovaries are the female organs that age more quickly than other tissues such as the uterus, the pituitary gland or pancreas. Different from males, an interesting question is why and how the females lose fertility so rapidly. During the aging process, both the number and quality of the oocytes in the ovaries decrease and reach to a point beyond that no more viable offspring may be produced and th...
متن کاملAnti-Müllerian Hormone as a Sensitive Marker of Ovarian Function in Young Cancer Survivors
We evaluated ovarian function by measuring the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), estradiol, and gonadotropins in 83 young women treated for cancer during childhood and adolescence, and classified according to post-treatment gonadal toxicity versus 38 healthy females. Results. The mean AMH values were lower in the entire cohort independently of the risk group as compared to the control, wh...
متن کاملSerum anti-Müllerian hormone as a predictive marker of polycystic ovarian syndrome
BACKGROUND The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a dimeric protein secreted by the female ovaries and has two fundamental roles in follicle genesis. It delays the entrance of the primordial follicle into the pool of follicles in growth and diminishes the sensitivity of the ovarian follicle towards follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The purpose of this work was to study the AMH (nv 2.0-6.8 ng/mL)...
متن کاملSerum anti-Müllerian hormone levels: a novel measure of ovarian reserve.
BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by the granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles and its levels can be assessed in serum. Since the number of ovarian follicles declines with increasing age, AMH levels might be used as a marker for ovarian ageing. Therefore, we studied the relationship between AMH levels and ovarian response during ovarian stimulation for IVF. ...
