The role of anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) in girls and adolescents

Abstract

Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is produced by the granular cells of primary, preantral and antral follicles. The circulating levels of AMH in adult women reflect the number of remaining primordial follicles. AMH determination plays an increasingly important role in diagnostics in endocrinology and gynecology in adult women. Although the determination of AMH levels is used in pediatric practice, still little is known about its role in various pubertal disorders in girls. This article presents the clinical use of AMH in girls and adolescents.
