Anti-Müllerian hormone expression pattern in the human ovary: potential implications for initial and cyclic follicle recruitment.
Molecular human reproduction2004200 influential citationsAnti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, which plays an important role in both ovarian primordial follicle recruitment and dominant follicle selection in mice. However, the role of AMH in…
Control of primordial follicle recruitment by anti-Müllerian hormone in the mouse ovary.
Endocrinology1999200 influential citationsThe dimeric glycoprotein anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors. During male fetal sex differentiation, AMH is produced by Sertoli cells and induces…
Serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels: a novel measure of ovarian reserve.
Human reproduction (Oxford, England)2002n=130200 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by the granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles and its levels can be assessed in serum. Since the number of ovarian follicles declines with increasing age, AMH…
Anti-Müllerian hormone attenuates the effects of FSH on follicle development in the mouse ovary.
Endocrinology2001160 influential citationsAlthough ovarian follicle growth is under the influence of many growth factors and hormones of which FSH remains one of the most prominent regulators. Therefore, factors affecting the sensitivity of ovarian follicles to FSH are also…
Anti-Müllerian hormone inhibits initiation of primordial follicle growth in the mouse ovary.
Endocrinology2002159 influential citationsRecruitment of primordial follicles is essential for female fertility; however, the exact mechanisms regulating this process are largely unknown. Earlier studies using anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)-deficient mice suggested that AMH is…
Use of an aromatase inhibitor for induction of ovulation in patients with an inadequate response to clomiphene citrate.
Fertility and sterility2001n=10128 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>To use aromatase inhibition for induction of ovulation in women in whom clomiphene citrate (CC) treatment was unsuccessful.<h4>Design</h4>Prospective trial in infertility patients treated with CC.<h4>Setting</h4>Two…
Anti-Müllerian hormone serum concentrations in normoovulatory and anovulatory women of reproductive age.
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism2004n=106123 influential citationsAnti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations correlate with the number of antral follicles as well as age and constitute an endocrine marker for ovarian aging. In normogonadotropic anovulatory infertile women [World Health Organization…
Predictors of poor ovarian response in in vitro fertilization: a prospective study comparing basal markers of ovarian reserve.
Fertility and sterility200299 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>To identify and quantify predictors of poor ovarian response in in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN; Prospective study. SETTING; Tertiary fertility center.<h4>Patient(s)</h4>One hundred twenty women undergoing their…
Detection of functional ovarian hyperandrogenism in women with androgen excess.
The New England journal of medicine1992n=4098 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>Distinguishing between ovarian and adrenal causes of androgen excess may be difficult. We have found that women with the polycystic ovary syndrome have supranormal plasma 17-hydroxyprogesterone responses to the…
A daily signal for the LH surge in the rat.
Endocrinology197593 influential citationsWe have demonstrated that a brief step-like increment in circulating estradiol concentrations to approximately 100 pg/ml, achieved by SC insertion of Silastic capsules containing estradiol-17 beta and their withdrawal after 29 1/2 hr,…
