Anti-M üllerian Hormone (AMH) Is Not a Predictive Marker of Fertility in Mares

Increasing age is inversely related to fertility in females of all species. AMH is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles and plays an important role in the regulation of the early stages of follicular development [1]. In women, AMH levels progressively decline with age, reflecting a decline in ‘growing’ follicle populations, with levels eventually being undetectable in menopausal women [1]. Therefore, AMH levels are used to predict the age of onset of decreased fertility in women.
