    protein hormone indicating ovarian reserve and aiding male fetal development

    Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is a protein hormone produced by cells in the ovaries and testes. In women, AMH levels are often used as a marker of ovarian reserve, which can help assess fertility potential. In men, it plays a crucial role in the development of the male reproductive system during fetal development by inhibiting the formation of female reproductive structures.

      research Abstract 14

      9 citations , November 2014 in “Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism”
      This document reported a rare case of a 15-year-old female with both 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis and MRKH syndrome, characterized by primary amenorrhea, absence of secondary sexual characteristics, and congenital absence of the uterus and upper vagina. Despite normal intelligence and no family history of similar conditions, the patient exhibited elevated follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone levels with low estradiol, indicating hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Hormonal therapy with ethinyl estradiol was initiated to develop secondary sexual characteristics and prevent osteoporosis, but infertility remained unresolved. The document discussed the potential embryological and genetic factors contributing to these conditions, including the role of estrogens and antimullerian hormone receptors.
