Anti Mullerian Hormone and its role in Gynecological Endocrinology: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a glycoprotein belonging to the family of transforming growth factor-beta. The molecule has evolved in the last few decades for the assessment of ovarian reserve in females. Additionally this hormone has been found to be useful in predicting the success of in-vitro fertilization, marker of polycystic ovarian syndrome, granulosa cell tumor of ovary and prediction of premature ovarian failure. This article will help the consultant gynecologist to use this novel hormone in these clinical situations.

متن کاملThe clinical significance of anti-Müllerian hormone evaluation in gynecological endocrinology.
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a homodimeric glycoprotein, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. Over the last decade, a large number of studies examining the multiple roles of AMH have been published. AMH levels accurately reflect the ovarian follicular reserve and could, therefore, be considered as an extremely sensitive marker of ovarian aging and a valuable tool in the ...
