I-29: Menstrual Cycle Dependent Variation in Serum Levels of Anti-M

I-28: Anti M

Serum anti-Mullerian hormone throughout the human menstrual cycle.

BACKGROUND The anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF) superfamily. In women, AMH serum levels can be almost undetectable at birth, with a subtle increase noted after puberty. Data are lacking with regard to menstrual cycle day-to-day fluctuations.

Serum prolactin levels during ovulatory menstrual cycle and menstrual disorders in women.

The changes in the serum prolactin levels during 8 ovulatory cycles, 3 anovulatory cycles, 3 clomiphene treated cycles, 4 premarin treated cycles and 2 cycles which had just become pregnant were measured by our heterologous radioimmunoassay.
