Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a glycoprotein produced by the granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles. AMH concentrations reflect ovarian physiology with high precision, thus serving as a more sensitive marker of the ovarian reserve than the chronological age. This hormone plays a role in the pathogenesis of menstrual disorders and fertility in obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome. The evaluation of AMH may also be useful in the diagnosis or the monitoring therapy of granulosa cells ovarian tumors.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
