Endocrine Markers and Decline in Reproductive Potential of Women
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the chronological age increases, there is a physiological decline in reproductive potential of women. Moreover, the chronological age of women may not reflect the biological age of her ovaries. Various endocrine markers have been used to assess the ovarian reserve. The changing pattern of the endocrine markers; follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) with the increasing age was observed to find out which of these best correlates with advancing reproductive age. The present study reveals that ovarian aging in women of reproductive age may not always coincide with their chronological age and some of the hormones may serve as distinct markers of ovarian aging.

Relationship between Serum Levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone, Adiponectin and Oxidative Stress Markers in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a valid indicator of ovarian function and is used for PCOS diagnosis. Some studies have shown that adipokines affect the synthesis of AMH, and therefore they are somehow related in function. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationshi...

متن کاملAge-related Androgen Secretion in Healthy Women and in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The number of ovarian follicles declines with age resulting in a significant decrease of fertility by the age of 40. However, the age when follicle loss starts to affect ovarian endocrine function is not well recognized. The purpose of the present study was to investigate age-related ovarian/adrenal androgen secretion, which is crucial for estrogen biosynthesis in healthy women and in women wit...
