Antimullerian Hormone Serum Concentrations in Normoovulatory and Anovulatory Women of Reproductive Age

Abstract

Background Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), produced by growing pre-antral and early antral ovarian follicles, has been shown to be a useful marker for ovarian ageing. Serum AMH concentrations are elevated during reproductive life in anovulatory women, especially in those patients exhibiting polycystic ovaries (PCO) and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Objectives The aim of our study is to compare the AMH concentrations in anovulatory women with normoovulatory women of similar age.
