AMH: the hormone of fertility and of menoapause

Anti-M üllerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by small antral follicles and has evolved over the past three decades as an assumed potential marker of the number of follicles in the human ovaries, also known as ovarian reserve. This quantitative measure, given the gradual decline over time and its non-replenis hable feature, could be the dreamed marker for predicting the final exhaustion of ovarian storage: the post-menopause. Reasons for this could be to manage age related infertility, but also to base a treatment strategy, such as ovarian surgery, on predicting the remaining years until the onset of men opause.
