AMH- ANTI MULLERIAN HORMONE
AMH- ANTI MULLERIAN HORMONE AMH is produced in the ovaries by granulosa cells of antral follicles. It releases into the follicular fluid and blood vessels. This hormone plays significant role in the development of reproductive organs in both sexes during the embryonic period of life. In an adult woman its role probably consists in the regulation of genesis of follicles, predominantly by mechanism of inhibiting primordial follicle recruitment and decreasing the sensitivity of small antral follicles to FSH. A gradual increase in AMH levels observed in females from the first day of life, with maximum levels at around the age of 25 years. In an adult woman AMH levels gradually decrease until they reach the values below detectable limits in postmenopausal women. AMH considered as a stable hormone as its levels over a menstrual cycle and demonstrates low variability in subsequent cycles. Oral contraceptives (OCP) do not influence AMH levels. However, some studies revealed
