Anti-Mullerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency in children and women with cancer: a systematic review

Richard A. Anderson et al.

Summary: Female patients undergoing anticancer treatment are at risk of adverse ovarian outcomes, and AMH can be used as a biomarker to assess ovarian reserve and POI. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy consistently led to reduced/undetectable AMH levels, but partial recovery was observed during follow-up. Oligo/amenorrhea was associated with post-treatment AMH decline, suggesting impending POI. Long-term follow-up of pediatric patients showed significantly lower AMH levels compared to control groups. AMH can identify the damaging effect of cancer treatments on ovarian function, but further studies are needed to determine its diagnostic and predictive value.

Anti-Mullerian hormone-mediated preantral follicle atresia is a key determinant of antral follicle count in mice

Y. Zhou et al.

Summary: The present findings suggest that AMH-mediated follicle atresia only occurs in early follicles before they become sensitive to FSH. Additionally, the study found that AMH overexpression leads to increased apoptosis rates of granulosa cells and oocytes in the ovaries. This indicates that the role of AMH is not to preserve ovarian reserve, but to prevent excessive follicle accumulation.

New insights into anti-Mullerian hormone role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and neuroendocrine development

Mauro S. B. Silva et al.

Summary: Research on the physiological actions of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has expanded beyond its classical role in male sexual differentiation to include regulation of ovarian function, clinical use in reproductive health, and its potential as a biomarker for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Recent studies have shown that AMH can have effects throughout the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, providing new insights into reproductive disorders and potentially contributing to the pathophysiology of diseases such as PCOS.

Summary: Stage-specific AMH modulation in group culture promotes coordinated growth and function of human follicles, leading to mature oocytes. This method has been previously successful in nonhuman primates.

High Variability of Molecular Isoforms of AMH in Follicular Fluid and Granulosa Cells From Human Small Antral Follicles

Linn Salto Mamsen et al.

Summary: AMH, a member of the TGF-beta superfamily produced by follicular granulosa cells in women, is thought to inhibit aromatase and play a role in ovarian steroidogenesis. This study found a negative correlation between follicle diameter and AMH forms, and variability in AMH isoforms between follicles of identical size within the same woman. The complex intrafollicular processing of AMH may pose challenges for developing an antibody-based AMH assay.

Anti-Mullerian hormone levels among contraceptive users: evidence from a cross-sectional cohort of 27,125 individuals

Eduardo Hariton et al.

Summary: Current use of hormonal contraceptives is associated with lower mean anti-Mullerian hormone levels compared to women not using contraceptives, with variability in the percent difference across contraceptive methods. These data provide guidance for clinicians on how to interpret anti-Mullerian hormone levels assessed while on contraceptives and may encourage more patients to continue contraceptive use while being evaluated for their ovarian reserve.

A blueprint of the topology and mechanics of the human ovary for next-generation bioengineering and diagnosis

Emna Ouni et al.

Summary: Despite the long history of human ovary dissection, the biophysical characteristics of ovarian tissue remain poorly understood. This study reveals a unique biophysical phenotype of reproductive-age tissue, providing insights for designing artificial ovaries and potential applicability to characterizing other organs in physiological or pathological states.
