BACKGROUND Literature proves anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and total testosterone (TT) as two important reproductive hormones in male development, however evidence regarding age variations of these hormones is lacking. AIMS To estimate the normal serum AMH values and to assess the age-specific TT levels in men aged 30-70, we conducted the present population-based study. METHODS A total of 83...

OBJECTIVE In 2009 anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) assay was approved for clinical use in Korea. This study was performed to determine the reference values of AMH for predicting ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) using the clinical assay data. METHODS One hundred sixty-two women who underwent COH cycles were included in this study. We collected data on age, basal AMH an...

Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is mainly involved in the regression of Mullerian ducts in male fetuses, but it may have other functions linked to gonadal development. The present study examines the effect of AMH on steroidogenesis by Sertoli and Leydig cells in fetal and immature rats during the period where AMH is physiologically produced in the testis. The basal aromatase activity of Sertoli ce...

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the capacity of measuring serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in determining ovarian reserve in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with increased ovarian reserve and in premenopausal women with decreased ovarian reserve. Methods: Seventy-five patients who presented to our clinic between May-September 2011 were included. The patients comprised 25...

BACKGROUND Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is expressed in pre- and small-antral follicles. High serum levels are found in women with polycystic ovaries (PCO), accordant with their increased content of small follicles. To evaluate the relationship between AMH, folliculogenesis and hyperandrogenism, we compared serum AMH levels between women with PCO with and without hyperandrogenism and normal con...

BACKGROUND In adult men, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels are higher in semen than in serum, but the significance and control of its seminal secretion are still unknown. This study evaluated seminal and serum AMH levels during long-term gonadotropin therapy in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). METHODS A total of 20 men with never treated prepubertal-onset HH received i.m. hCG to...

BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to measure circulating AMH before laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) to evaluate its prognostic value for an ovulatory response and to investigate AMH changes after LOD to further explore the effects of LOD. METHODS This prospective study included an...

BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of growth factors. AMH is detected in serum from women of reproductive age and its levels vary slightly with the menstrual cycle, reaching the peak value in the late follicular phase. The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of controlled ovarian stimulation on AMH secretion by the ...

Background The impact of cancer therapy on the reproductive potential of patients is increasingly recognized because survival rates of patients have clearly improved in recent years. The study stressed the use of AMH may allow better prediction of chemotherapy-related risk to further fertility. MaterialsAndMethods A narrative review was performed within articles published at PubMed, Elsevier, S...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) cut-off levels in as- sisted reproductive technology (ART) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were as- sessed for AMH in serum and follicular fluid (FF) on the day of follicular punc...
