Serum anti-M üllerian hormone concentrations in mares with granulosa-cell tumors versus other ovarian abnormalities

Recently, anti-M üllerian hormone (AMH) has been reported as a useful diagnostic marker for equine granulosa-cell tumors (GCT). The aim of this study was to examine and compare serum AMH and immunoreactive (ir)-inhibin concentrations in mares with ovarian abnormalities other than GCT compared to mares with known GC T in order to determine more useful diagnostic criteria. Mares with a possible GCT based upon history were subsequently classified into those with GCT confirmed by histopathology and mares with other ovarian abnormalities (AO) without a GCT based on follow-up fertility information.
