The Anti-Mullerian hormone and ovarian cancer.
The Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), which is produced by fetal Sertoli cells, is responsible for regression of Mullerian ducts, the anlagen for uterus and Fallopian tubes, during male sex differentiation. Ovarian granulosa cells also secrete AMH from late in fetal life. The patterns of expression of AMH and its type II receptor in the post-natal ovary indicate that AMH may play an important role ...
متن کاملAnti-Mullerian hormone--is it a crystal ball for predicting ovarian ageing?
Several studies have demonstrated that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a better marker of ovarian reserve than age, basal FSH, estradiol and inhibin. AMH is very good in (i) predicting both over- and poor-response in the controlled ovarian stimulation environment, (ii) determining the most appropriate stimulation regimen and (iii) pre-treatment counselling for couples to make an appropriate and...
متن کاملAnti-mullerian hormone: a new marker of ovarian function.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine day 3 Serum AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol (E2), Inhibin B levels, ovarian volume, and antral follicular count to assess ovarian function. METHODS This study was conducted on 130 infertile women between age 18 and 43 years. Day 3 Serum AMH level was estimated by sandwich enzyme immunoassay; Serum FSH, S. LH, S. E2, by solid-phase two-site chemilumine...
متن کاملAnti-Mullerian Hormone: Above and Beyond Conventional Ovarian Reserve Markers
Management of ovarian dysfunctions requires accurate estimation of ovarian reserve (OR). Therefore, reproductive hormones and antral follicle count (AFC) are assessed to indicate OR. Serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a unique biomarker that has a critical role in folliculogenesis as well as steroidogenesis within ovaries. Secretion from preantral and early antral follicles renders AMH as th...
متن کاملAnti-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...
