ABSTRACT
Anti-mullerian hormone is a homodimeric glycoprotein belonging to the transforming
growth factor beta (TGF-β) super family. Anti-mullerian hormone plays a fundamental role in the
regression of mullerian ducts in male embryo. In boys, it is produced by Sertoli cells of the testes until
puberty where slowly decreases to residual values for the rest of the life. In female, it is secreted by
granulosa cells of small follicles in the ovary where their levels accurately reflect the ovarian follicular
reserve. Therefore, anti-mullerian hormone has been considered as extremely sensitive marker
of ovarian aging and a valuable tool in the diagnosis and the recognition of recurrence of granulosa
cell tumor. Anti-mullerian hormone evaluation is also of clinical importance in predicting of ovarian
responsiveness, ovarian function cessation, and in assisted reproduction. In addition, anti-mullerian
hormone could be a diagnostic marker of polycystic ovary syndrome in cases in which ultrasonographic
examination is not possible. Finally, the measurement of serum anti-mullerian hormone levels
during woman’s reproductive life represents an ideal tool for the assessment of the ovarian follicular
reserve. This review presents the physiological role of anti-mullerian hormone in women, as well as
the main clinical benefits of its measurement and the laboratory tests available for this purpose.
