Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)

What this laboratory test evaluates

DetailsIn females, Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles. It serves as a marker of ovarian reserve, reflecting the remaining quantity of eggs in the ovaries. In males, AMH is produced by the Sertoli cells of the testes and plays an important role during fetal development by causing regression of the Müllerian ducts, which would otherwise develop into female reproductive structures.
