Relation of antimullerian hormone with the clinical signs of hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovary morphology

Abstract The relation of antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels with the clinical and biochemical markers of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could be different. A total of 463 PCOS patients were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. Groups were constructed according to polycystic ovarian morphology...

Description
Summary:Abstract The relation of antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels with the clinical and biochemical markers of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could be different. A total of 463 PCOS patients were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. Groups were constructed according to polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) and menstrual cycle-length. The relation of serum AMH with androgenic hormones, menstrual cycle-length and clinical signs of PCOS were investigated. A powerful positive relation was found between the PCOM and AMH levels (odds ratio = 2.49). There was a negative correlation between age and AMH level (p
