AMH in women • AMH levels correlate with AFC • AMH levels decline with age • AMH levels are cycle independent • Is AMH a marker for ovarian reserve?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Most common endocrine disorder in reproductive age women Prevalence 5-10% in general population Rotterdam Criteria 2003: • Polycystic ovaries • Oligo/amenorrhoea • Hyperandrogenism Other characteristics • Obesity (50%) • Insulin resistance (50%) Complex genetic trait

Summary AMH function • Mullerian duct regression • Leydig cell differentiation • FSH sensitivity • recruitment • FSH sensitivity serum AMH level as marker • ovarian reserve • (IVF outcome, POF, cancer treatment) • PCOS • presence testicular tissue • Sertoli cell function (before puberty)
