“…Some studies have associated higher AMH concentrations (Kamel et al 2014, Sahmay et al 2014 and AFC (Holte et al 2011) with higher pregnancy rates in women undergoing reproductive treatments. However, longitudinal studies on plasma AMH at the prepubertal age and its implications in later reproductive life in girls and domestic animals are scarce.…”

The importance of postnatal pituitary activation as regards female reproductive development is not yet understood. By taking advantage of the experimental model developed in a previous study, i.e. ewe lambs expressing markedly different ovarian phenotypes at 50 days of age, we designed this study to determine whether differences found in ovarian status during the early prepubertal period are due to different patterns of postnatal pituitary activation, and to assess whether these differences have long lasting effects on subsequent reproductive performance. Results showed that ewe lambs with high antral follicle count (AFC) at 50 days of age had significantly lower plasma FSH concentrations and higher anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) concentrations during the first 9 weeks of age compared with low AFC ewe lambs (P!0.0001). With a longitudinal experiment we showed that a high AFC in the early prepubertal period is associated with consistently higher AMH concentrations and numbers of antral follicles up to the postpubertal period, and with higher pregnancy rates in the first breeding season. In addition, the effect of age in decreasing AMH concentrations was more marked in the low AFC group. Results of the present study demonstrate that ewe lambs undergo different patterns of postnatal pituitary activation. A high AFC at 50 days of age indicates an advanced phase of ovarian maturation, which was accompanied by constantly higher AMH concentrations up to the postpubertal period, a greater ovarian response to FSH stimulation and by higher pregnancy rates at first mating, as compared with the low AFC group.

“…Controversial results are found in the literature when it comes to AMH levels and pregnancy likelihood. It has been shown that its levels are not well correlated to embryo quality or pregnancy likelihood (Smeenk et al, 2007); however, a more recent study states that AMH is a good prognostic factor for IVF pregnancy outcome (Kamel et al, 2014). Studies have also shown that blood AMH levels can help predict the likelihood of blastocyst formation (Lin et al, 2013;Sills et al, 2011).…”

“…In this way, the AMH contributes to the maintenance of oocyte reserves [17,20] . Detection of the AMH level has found common use in women, for determination of the ovarian reserve, which refers to the number of follicles that can be successfully recruited for a possible pregnancy, as well as for the monitoring of transition into menopause, the diagnosis of the polycystic ovary syndrome and granulosa cell tumours, the detection of low ovarian response, and prognosis in in vitro fertilization studies [16,20] . This study aimed to investigate the structural, morphological and cellular differences of follicles at different stages of follicular development as well as to determine the correlation of the ovarian follicle population with serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels in young and aged bitches.…”

This study aimed to investigate the structural, morphological and cellular differences of follicles at different stages of follicular development as well as to determine the correlation of the ovarian follicle population with serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels in young and aged bithches. Sixteen bitches were divided into two groups according to their ages. Group A included young bitches aged 2 years (n=8) while Group B constituted of those aged 8 to 10 years (n=8). Diameters of the primordial, primary and preantral follicles were found to be significantly larger in Group B, in comparison to Group A. In Group A, the mean number of granulosa cells was 91.65±2.23 in the secondary follicles and 301.31±4.16 in the preantral follicles. In Group B, the same values were found to be 89.46±2.68 and 270.25±3.54, respectively. The mean serum AMH levels in Group A and Group B were 0.233±0.046 ng/mL and 0.099±0.008 ng/mL, respectively (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results indicated that the number of primordial and primary follicles as well as the numbers of granulosa cells in secondary and preantral follicles decreased with advanced age which resulted in lower serum AMH levels in aged bitches. The results suggested that the AMH, which is used as a fertility parameter in humans, could also be used for the same purpose in dogs. Keywords
