Circulating and Cultured Anti-M üllerian Hormone Concentrations Following Hemi-ovariectomy in Anestrous Mares

Anti-M üllerian hormone (AMH), a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily, was first discovered for its involvement with Müllerian duct (paramesonephric duct) regression in male fetuses during sexual differentiation. However, AMH also plays an important role in folliculogenesis in postnata l females. AMH is secreted primarily by granulosa cells of small follicles and inhibits primordial follicle recruitment. Circulating AMH concentration has a positive relationship with the antral follicle count and decreases with age as females near reproductive senescence.
