Distinctive Reproductive Phenotypes in Peripubertal Girls at Risk for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite similarly elevated free T levels, PCOS-d had increased AMH levels compared to OB-g. This finding suggests that OB-g lack alterations in ovarian folliculogenesis, a key reproductive feature of PCOS. Causal mechanisms may differ in PCOS-d or OB-g, or elevated T in OB-g may not be an early marker for PCOS. PMID: 30844044 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
